Had an excellent run in 1m turf handicaps this year, winning the first three, including over C&D, and losing nothing in defeat against a fellow improver at Newbury (heavy) 22 days ago; edged up 1lb but has much better claims than most.

Similar type to Atlantic Gamble, being a productive gelding who has a high strike-rate (5-8) in handicaps; close fifth off this mark last time (1m, AW) and remains in form; versatile ground-wise on turf.

Out of the frame in 2yo races (6f/7f) but his final effort, behind a smart sort, reads well; gelded since; open to improvement now handicapping over new trip and wearing first-time hood; interesting.

Has a record of 3-7 (Flat/hurdles) for current yard; creditable third at Newbury (1m4f, good) on seasonal debut most recently; major player off same mark, assuming he copes with this drop back in trip (stiff track and forecast slow ground are helpful in that respect).

Won this off 4lb lower last year (good) not long after a success over hurdles; lightly raced since, with a novice hurdle win in November before well beaten on handicap hurdle debut in December; major player if he's in the same form as 12 months ago and he has run well after a similar break before.

Secured a fourth win (three on turf) when taking Lingfield handicap (1m2f, AW) on his April reappearance but that hasn't been backed up in two subsequent starts; latest fourth was a step back in the right direction, however, when shaping like this first attempt at 1m4f is worth a go; 1-1 here and he holds each-way prospects.

Acts on good to firm and good to soft; reappeared with a comfortable AW win in April but he's not easy to predict and was tailed off back on turf at Lingfield (1m2f, good to firm) last month; needs to bounce back again after that but he still looks feasibly treated on his penultimate form.
