Front-runner for whom things have really clicked of late and he's won his last three (1m, good to firm/AW); this is tougher and further improvement is needed but he may well have more left in the tank.

Front-runner; completed a hat-trick in 1m handicaps this summer, the last leg at this track; disappointing at Haydock next time but better than ever when beaten a head at Southwell (1m, AW) 16 days later; all his improvement has been at 1m, having tried 1m2f twice in the spring before he was tongue tied, so this step back up in trip asks the key question.

Yet to win away from Beverley (3-5 there; 7.5f-1m2f); started the season positively when runner-up at Beverley (1m2f, good) in May but hasn't kicked on from that and is slowly easing in the weights; these drying conditions should suit and the drop back in trip is worth exploring.
