Pretty encouraging fourth on debut at Chester (6f, good to soft) last month and third of 14 at Southwell (6f, AW) subsequently; his form is up there with the best in this line-up and he's one to consider.

Prominent racer who has run two good races at Hamilton (6f, good and 5f, good to soft) this season; unraced on faster than good but a key player if underfoot conditions are suitable.

Didn't run a bad race here for the Quinns and he turned in another solid effort at Hamilton when a close third of 13 in a 6f handicap (good ground) on last month's reappearance; has a belated first attempt at 5f today and he should give it another good go.
