Form & Verdict
Ordinary form in his first four starts, but improved plenty when easily winning a Chelmsford handicap (6f, AW) last time (third has won twice since); 9lb higher and has to prove himself back on turf, but something has clicked and the return to this trip shouldn't be an issue on breeding; respected with yard still in cracking form.

Form & Verdict
Runner-up in two 6f novices on a soft surface last autumn and, having been gelded, he easily made a winning return at Catterick (7f, heavy; 10-11) 13 days ago; open to further progress, but it won't be easy conceding weight to this field on handicap debut.

Form & Verdict
Two best efforts last year came on fast ground, including when getting off the mark in a Redcar nursery (6f) in September (runner-up has won twice since); 6lb higher on this return from 202 days off, but a player provided the ground doesn't ease with the extra furlong likely to be within range.

3 yo Colt

Form & Verdict
Twice runner-up over 6f at Thirsk (soft/good) last summer and having been off for five months, he didn't need to improve when making all in a Newcastle novice (7f, AW) in January; makes his handicap debut after another three months off and will probably need to progress again.

Progressed in three starts last year, ending the campaign with a narrow success in a Wolverhampton maiden (7f, AW; first start since being gelded); first two pulled well clear and the second and fifth won next time, but he will need to improve again to win this on handicap debut after six months off.
