Form & Verdict
Eight-race maiden who was disappointing in a Hamilton handicap last time, but he sets a clear standard on his best form including a close second at Doncaster (1m4f, good to soft) in May; seems versatile ground-wise and he's a big player if he can bounce back near best.

Usually races prominently but came from the rear, having fluffed the start, to dead-heat over C&D (good; subsequently awarded outright win) last summer; now only 1lb above that mark and returns here after respectable run in quite valuable Musselburgh race last month; one to consider.

238 days off before his Newcastle run three weeks ago when he may well have been in need of the race and interference exacerbated his margin of defeat; possibilities if that has brought him back to his best.

Form & Verdict
Close up on his Kempton debut (1m, AW) last November but he's struggled since and finished tailed off in his last two handicaps (1m2f); had wind surgery in June but he needs a major turnaround back in a novice event; hood added at this new trip.

He's just 1lb higher than when winning over C&D last December but he returned from a break with a heavy defeat over C&D in May and was again well beaten at Ffos Las last month; a major turnaround is required.

Scored on Tapeta during the winter (1m6f) but returned from break with very disappointing run on that surface last month and switches back to turf with a point to prove; usual hood removed from headgear ensemble.

Form & Verdict
25,000gns half-brother to three winners including two who stayed middle-distances and beyond; shaped with some promise when fourth of eight on his Chelmsford debut (1m2f, AW) in May and that form has been boosted by the first three since; should know more on this step up in trip and he's in the mix on his return.
