Couple of expensive defeats for George Boughey early last year before being sold for 4,600gns, looking anything but easy; pulled away his chances on comeback, back up to 1m, despite a first-time hood and only has daylight on his outer from stall 13.

Couple of costly defeats for George Boughey early last year, not looking the easiest; more of the same in three runs for his current yard and there are obvious risks back up in trip in a first-time hood after eight months off; likely has the ability though.

7f winner at Thirsk (soft) in September and he was back in that sort of form when close third at Hamilton (1m1f, good) three weeks ago; sire and damsire both influences for stamina but this marked step up in trip is still a little surprising.

Won at Thirsk (7f, soft) last September and reappeared with promising third there (7f, good) in April; kept on for fifth over this C&D (good) three weeks ago in a race that favoured those ridden more prominently, and the first-time hood may not have suited (left off today); possible player.

Low-mileage son of Golden Horn who got off the mark at Thirsk (7f) in September; resumed from seven months off with a good third of 13 in another 7f handicap there 27 days ago; could do better still back up in trip with a hood fitted and rates a player.

Handy sort who has mainly run well since the autumn, including a win at Southwell (1m, Tapeta) in January and a good third of ten on last month's Beverley return (7f, good to firm); shouldn't be far away.

Has won over middle distances, including on turf, but seems to need shorter nowadays and made all over 1m at Southwell (AW) when last seen; could make a bold bid on this track provided he again goes from the front; stable going very well (3-5 with big LSP) this month; respected.

No match for the winner but still showed considerable promise when runner-up at 3-1 on debut at Redcar (6f, good to firm) in July; this Middle Park entry could be sharper for that outing and he's one to consider today.
