Form & Verdict
Ex-French; record of 1-18 but he was a fair third behind a subsequent winner at Lingfield (1m, AW) ten days ago and wasn't far behind Drifts Away in that race; 1lb lower here and he's in the mix for yard that won this last year.

Form & Verdict
Five-time winner who scored twice at this track (6f/7f) in the summer; has come up short in last three runs but he caught the attention of the stewards here (6f) last time; still looks feasibly treated but he has form figures 9898 at around 1m and the return to this trip is a concern.

Versatile trip-wise, having won over 6f on this track in September and later a 7f turf claimer the following month; another sound effort over the extended 1m here next time and although his 7f handicap form isn't particularly compelling, he's in good enough form to be considered.

His only win came in a 7f Doncaster maiden as a 2yo; struggled for David Evans thus far but he's dropped 22lb since August and many of those runs have come over an inadequate 6f; the booking of Rossa Ryan and the addition of a visor point to a better showing this evening; confidence would increase if backed.
