Made most and rallied to justify favouritism in a novice at Wolverhampton (9.4f, AW) in December; ran creditably (1m3f, 1m2f and 1m4f) though well held on all three starts since, blinkered for last two and gelded before latest; still does not look on a great mark.

Useful pedigree; upset in stalls (withdrawn) once last November and mounted in chute on latest outing; fair form on soft on debut; made most and rallied well to justify favouritism at Wolverhampton (9.4f, AW) in December and ran creditably when fourth of five in novice at Kempton (1m3f, AW) last month; blinkers are enlisted; needs to resume improvement for this handicap debut but can't be ruled out.

Went close last September on debut; disappointing on next two starts but he returned from a gelding operation to win easily in a maiden at Hamilton (1m1f, good) five weeks ago; that was at 1-5 and this handicap debut is a far sterner test; likely to stay.

2yo novice winner who has mostly been on the premises with varied tactics in handicaps (blinkered in last three) and was not disgraced when beaten a bit further on latest start; that took his handicap score to 0-8, though, and he needs to find a bit extra.

Sole win came in a 1m novice as a 2yo and although he's run some good races on downhill tracks this year, including over C&D (good; acts on soft), he isn't obviously ahead of his mark; should be thereabouts even so.
