Form & Verdict
Made a low-key start here in October but was a promising third at Southwell next time and he found major improvement with his comfortable win over C&D last month; this is a tougher assignment but he has a good pedigree and could continue on an upward curve moving into handicaps.

Both turf starts on good; left his useful 1m form behind when landing the Italian Derby over 1m3f at Capannelle in June; that was a smart effort but he'll need an even bigger performance to defy a mark of 105 on his first outing since.

Campaigned exclusively on AW; completed a winter hat-trick but last two efforts have seemingly exposed his limitations; enough to prove in this grade on turf debut.

Form & Verdict
Improved with each of his three qualifying runs and he took another good step forward when justifying favouritism on handicap debut at Wolverhampton (7f) last month; up 6lb for that small-field win but he finished well to score with authority and is open to more progress at this new trip; big player.

Form & Verdict
Well held in first three starts but he has form figures of 1121 since switched to handicaps; up another 3lb after his odds-on win at Wolverhampton (8.6f, Tapeta) last time but he knuckled down well to beat a clear second and is respected back on Polytrack.

Form & Verdict
Made a promising start when third at Brighton (1m, soft) in October but he faded at Wolverhampton next time before a tailed-off effort here (1m3f) last month; now drops back to 1m but he has something to prove and this looks highly competitive on handicap debut.

Won by 15l at Salisbury (1m2f, heavy; 5-2 fav; first run as a gelding) last September, and posted another solid effort at Newbury (1m2f, soft) next time; now 14lb above that winning mark and seemed to need recent Musselburgh comeback run/stable debut (31,000gns buy from Roger Teal).

Considerable improvement over 1m2f in the mud once gelded last August, but well beaten in both his hurdle races this winter; this is first run since leaving Roger Teal for 31,000gns in February and given wind surgery; not as solid as some of these but stable is among the winners.
