Currently 0-13 but he has been placed at this level on his last three starts, most recently finishing to good effect up the middle of the track behind Broxi at Newcastle nine days ago; style of racing means he needs luck but he's ready to strike.

Returned from break with hard-fought C&D win in January and has held his form pretty well since, albeit his latest run was a shade disappointing; current mark is workable; no surprise if he features.

Running well here this year and he landed a classified in January; subsequently placed in two course handicaps (also 7f); didn't beat a rival in previous three starts at this sort of trip but still commands respect in current mood back in a classified.

Ran on well to win a similar event over C&D for this rider last month; not quite so good since but the prospect of a good pace will suit and he still has a bit of potential upside.

Regularly misses the break; second to Fact Or Fable in this race last year and won at this track (7f, good to firm) in September; back on the scoresheet at Southwell (7f, AW; first-time blinkers) in January but quiet since and he ran poorly at Brighton last time when back from a break.

Went close in a 1m classified event at Kempton last month; fluffed his lines as favourite at Newcastle on Tuesday but the field dawdled and that form isn't worth much; should be seen to better effect here.
