Form & Verdict
Had tried blinkers and cheekpieces before edging home in a first-time visor at Southwell (1m4f novice), beating the favourite; raced keenly and wandered under pressure so not straightforward; beaten off lower marks in handicaps but hard to dismiss.

J: Edward Greatrex

T: Paul Attwater

Won four in a row on Tapeta for Barry Brennan in early part of this year (two at this track); has run with credit on turf since for Tom Dascombe in June/July and his current trainer; returns to AW following a break and has been gelded; any market move should be noted.

3 yo Colt

OR: 62

Form & Verdict
Beaten in his first seven races but came good in two C&D handicaps and he faced a sharper test (1m2f Lingfield) when the hat-trick bid came up just shy; 4lb out of the weights so 5lb higher for this but does return to a better trip.

Struck form with two 2m3f wins at Fontwell (good to soft/soft) this winter, and may not have been suited by heavy ground when disappointing on latest outing (2m4f); could have a say if suited by this new trip.

Dual Flat winner who has come good over hurdles with wins at Fontwell (2m3f, good to soft/soft) on last two starts; up another 6lb but that was a smooth success last time and he's open to more progress; highly respected in hat-trick bid.

Form & Verdict
Hooded from the outset; beaten 8l+ in his qualifying runs over 7f/1m; handicaps were always likely to see him in a better light and, although 6lb out of the weights, he needs respecting raised in distance (1m2f/1m3f winners in the family).

Only six runners when he ran away with a classified at Ffos Las (1m, heavy) in August, breaking his duck at the 12th attempt; third in two handicaps since, with a creditable show at Leicester (7f, heavy) latterly but he was no match for winner Temper Trap.

Only six runners when he ran away with a classified at Ffos Las (1m, heavy) in August, breaking his duck at the 12th attempt; respectable third in a handicap (1m, good) next time and he has to be given a second look if it's heavy ground again.

Perhaps coped best with the testing ground when running away with a 1m classified at Ffos Las (third run visored); back up 4lb now returned to a handicap but has been competitive off this sort of figure (on this faster ground); 1m2f shouldn't be a problem; chance.
