0-9 but finished runner-up in his first two career starts at this venue (7f/1m) at the start of the year; an extra furlong may suit him ideally now, but the drop in class and return here make him interesting.

Runner-up in his first three starts earlier in the year and filled the same position with a tongue-tie added over C&D a fortnight ago; a stiffer test may suit him ideally, but still one for the shortlist off 1lb higher.

Took him a long time to get off the mark, but has utilised forcing tactics to good effect over C&D this year (1241); 5lb higher than for his latest success, though, and he doesn't have a great draw.

Came good at the 26th attempt over C&D in February when making all; has ran well twice since over C&D when in the money and a danger to all if he can grab an early lead in returning cheekpieces.

Disappointing at Southwell (6f) last time but he went close over C&D on his penultimate run and that was after an emphatic front-running success at this track; drawn out wide on this step back up in trip but has possibilities if he can bounce back.

Only start here produced a second over C&D (good to soft) in October and he got off the mark in a Lingfield classified (1m, AW) in January; not quite matched that in three starts since and yet to prove he's effective on quick turf; still can't be ruled out in a moderate contest.
