Won twice at around this time last year including a Kempton novice (6f, Polytrack); well held in his first three handicaps after returning, but a better effort when beaten half a length at Beverley (7f, good to firm) last month; back up 2lb and still has stamina to prove over 1m, but can't be dismissed easily.

First and second in two starts on the AW, the win coming in a novice here (6f) two years ago; 0-9 in handicaps, though, and enough to prove from his wide draw after seven months off.

Didn't shine on his two runs in the first half of this year and same story at Haydock (7f, soft) last month, having been gelded; however, perhaps the ground didn't suit last time and it will be no surprise if this lightly raced 3yo bounces back and plays a leading role today.

Two wins on turf this year, at Thirsk (7f, heavy) in April and at Catterick (7f, good to soft) in June; ran well when third of eight in his only previous AW start at Newcastle (1m, Tapeta) in August last year, but still to fully convince over this far.

Improved form since being gelded and he made it 2-4 this season when justifying favouritism at Catterick (7f, good to soft) 17 days ago; that was a last-gasp success but he reeled in a progressive rival and a 4lb rise looks fair enough; respected.

Newcastle maiden winner (1m, Tapeta) last October and bolted up by over 6l in a Salisbury handicap (1m, good to firm) in July, but nothing like as effective at Glorious Goodwood (1m, good to firm) last month (behind The Ice Phoenix); new mark has now kicked in so is up another 6lb; plenty to prove.

Won a C&D maiden just over a year ago and easily landed a Salisbury handicap (1m, good to firm) in July; shot up the weights as a result and could only manage fifth of seven at Southwell (1m, Tapeta) in September, but shaped as though the return to this stiffer mile will suit; respected.

Two course runs have yielded a novice win (7f) and a close second in a fillies' handicap (1m) in June; less good on turf since but she's feasibly weighted if the return to this track perks her up.

Lightly raced 3yo who went very close at Kempton (1m, AW) in June and is 1lb lower here; ran pretty well when fourth of seven at Leicester (7f, good to firm) a fortnight ago but needs to build on that effort today.
