Form & Verdict
Promising second to a subsequent winner on his 6f Kempton debut and didn't need to improve on that to land the odds at the same course next time; trainer is 21-78 with 3yos here and he retains potential.

Has made the frame at Newcastle (AW; behind Wiltshire) and Leicester since being gelded; good fourth in the Listed Carnarvon Stakes on this card last year; 0-3 on turf but has each-way claims.

Completed an AW hat-trick when scoring on his handicap debut at Newcastle (6f) last April; held in six subsequent runs but he went close off this mark at Southwell in November and was a creditable third at Newcastle three weeks ago; now returns to turf but he ran well in a fast-ground Listed event last spring and he's still unexposed in this sphere; in the mix.

J: Oisin Murphy

T: Andrew Balding

He was completing a hat-trick when landing the 3yo sprint on this card 12 months ago, a race where he enjoyed a clear run while several in behind met trouble; he hasn't looked ahead of the handicapper in three runs this winter but likely this has been the main target and he has been gelded since his latest run.

Form & Verdict
Both runs to date have come over C&D, his opening third (slowly away) reading well; was a touch below that level last time and may ultimately want a bit further, so whether today's smaller field will help remains to be seen.

Steady progress last season, winning at 7f and 1m; flopped in the Spring Mile first time back but showed his true colours when emerging from off the pace to beat a Beckett improver over 1m here recently (4lb lower); he should stay this far.

Made steady progress switched to handicaps last autumn, winning over 7f at Ascot (good to soft) and 1m at Newcastle (AW); that makes his reappearance effort in the Doncaster Spring Mile disappointing but last year's exploits show he's better than that.

Record of 51531 since handicapping includes a couple of respectable efforts at Doncaster (7f, heavy); held on by only a whisker at Newcastle (AW) upped to 1m but may have further improvement in him.

Made the experienced favourite work for it when a clear second on his 5f Tapeta debut and had a couple of subsequent winners behind when off the mark at Chelmsford latest; likely has more to offer.

Won 6f AW maiden at Chelmsford in February; some fair handicap runs since and, as he was picking up nicely late on in a recent Racing League race on Wolverhampton AW, he looks worth a go at 7f; can be involved.

Form & Verdict
Trainer best known for older handicappers and, Wolverhampton aside, doesn't have a good record with 3yos on the AW; this 160,000gns half-brother to top-class Inspiral (among others), who wears a hood on debut, looks the part on paper though.

J: Sam Twiston-Davies

Developed into fairly useful 1m2f Flat handicapper this season; raced far too freely when second on both hurdling starts, more recently when 2-11 favourite at Stratford (2m, good) last month, where he built up a big lead before capitulating in the home staight; has plenty of ability but comes with risk attached; tongue-tie refitted.
