Best with his emphatic win at Carlisle (1m, good) in August but he's not easy to predict and was last of nine at Thirsk last time; still unexposed on AW and has won at this track but he needs to bounce again on this return to Tapeta.

Poor maiden who's been tried over various trips and in two forms of headgear since starting his career in bumpers; has done a lot of his racing on soft ground, so any rain would likely suit, but he's hard to recommend either way.

Half his ten starts were on turf but all those were on soft and his form dropped off markedly on last two outings; recent headgear is removed; 9lb lower than on handicap debut and the ground should be different.

Better with each run since handicapping, showing the right attitude to get up over 7.4f last time; there can't be any complaints about a 2lb rise and she's the only one open to improvement, so has to be respected.
