Form & Verdict
Shaped well over C&D on his handicap debut/reappearance and confirmed he was well handicapped when blitzing his rivals from the front at Ripon last week (6f, heavy); that effort backed up by the clock and he's well in under a penalty; the one to beat.

Wins have all come over easy tracks in the spring/autumn on good or softer ground; won well at Ripon last weekend but was always well positioned from the rail draw and a 6lb rise looks plenty as he goes back up in class.

Returned to form with a second at Musselburgh (5f, good to soft) last month but he failed to back that up over C&D (last of eight) two weeks ago; has something to prove again after that and he's still 3lb higher than for his last win.

Won twice as a 2yo (good to firm and AW); didn't run badly back from 190 days off at Southwell 13 days ago but more will be required if he's to come out on top here.

J: Daniel Tudhope

His form can be up and down but he won at Redcar (5f, soft) in May and went close at Beverley (5f, good to firm) last month; he didn't enjoy the best of passages when close fifth at Beverley (5f, good to firm) last time in a first-time visor (retained) and he could be in the shake-up.

Form & Verdict
Both wins and best form have come on AW, registering a career-best effort when beating eight rivals at Newcastle ten weeks ago; found this C&D an inadequate test when fourth in a nursery last October; might need the pace to collapse to come out on top.

He's fully 14lb lower than when winning at Hamilton (6f, good to firm) last June but hasn't been shaping of late as though he's about to capitalise on his reduced mark; soundly beaten fourth here (6f, good) last time.

Now 13lb lower than for his Hamilton win (6f, good to firm) last June but he's been well held in all four runs this season; won't mind if the forecast rain arrives but losing run is up to 12 and this looks a tough task against Novamay; cheekpieces removed.

C&D winner last November; successful at Redcar (6f, good to firm) in May and went close at Pontefract in June; not quite at that level in his last three starts but he is unexposed on AW and the new tongue-tie could be beneficial.
