C&D winner on debut; added a 7f handicap at Southwell to his tally last January and he's now 1lb lower; not seen to best effect at Lingfield on New Year's Eve; place claims in this lower grade.

Conditions to suit and he is back to the same mark off which he beat Captain Parma here in October; not at his best at Southwell last week but he is the type to bounce back quickly.

Form & Verdict
Eyecatching stable debut over 5f at Wolverhampton four weeks ago and he justified short-priced favouritism at Lingfield last week (handicap debut; made all over 7f); unpenalised today and he's still open to further progress; strong claims.

J: Mr Fletcher Yarham

T: Dylan Cunha

Won this year at Lingfield (7f, AW) and Sandown (1m, good) in two of his five handicaps; the latter was an amateurs' race under Fletcher Yarham; tongue tied when below form on latest outing, so he isn't today; going beyond 1m for the first time gives him a fair bit to prove but having Motivator as the dam's sire gives some hope.

Form & Verdict
Goes well at this track and ran a solid race over 1m 11 days ago, keeping on to snatch second close home; handicapped to go well and although dropping back to 7f isn't sure to suit, this is likely to be well run.

His four wins have been from 7f-1m2f at Chelmsford, latest in February 2023; good second there in February (1m2f) but he hasn't done as well since, last twice over this trip on turf; others appeal more.

Five-time AW winner including over C&D; his last success was 17 months ago but he returned after a short break with an eye-catching fourth in a Wolverhampton handicap (6f, Tapeta) last week; didn't get much luck in that race and he's in the mix back up in trip; visor reapplied.

J: Miss Jacintha Hynes

T: Mark Usher

Rarely seen on turf these days even though he has won on it; only one piece of recent worthwhile form and jockey (who also owns him) is having her first ride in public; has dropped 8lb below his last winning mark, though, so could play a part if producing his best.

Form & Verdict
Two wins for former yard, one of them here, but it's been a mixed bag since June; front-running second over 6f here in November brings him into the reckoning but he was well beaten tried in a hood at Lingfield last time.

Out of form on AW when last seen in January/February but ought to cope well if the ground remains soft and is well drawn to seize the favoured nearside rail; worth a second look.
