Has pulled hard more than once in sprints, including in a hood at Southwell early in the year; holds claims on his latest second here but the headgear comes off as he goes up in trip, so there are risks involved.

Again pulled hard after blowing the start from a wide stall under a penalty last time; that may be best ignored and she has claims on her previous Wolverhampton win off 3lb lower (also 6f) if settling in first-time cheekpieces (wore a hood once before).

On the go early last season before a nine-month break, during which time he was gelded; was again inclined to edge left on his handicap debut (not an ideal trait coming from stall 1 tonight) and needs to improve on that.

Well held in maiden/novice events but his RPRs have been progressive and his fourth at Newcastle (5f, Tapeta) last month was promising after a lengthy absence; looks interesting now switched to a handicap and he's bred to be much better than this mark.

J: William Carson

T: Roger Fell

Runner-up in a Bath maiden (5.5f, good) in September, but disappointed on soft back there next time; failed to get majorly competitive on recent AW debut at Newcastle (5f; 33-1); has eased 2lb since, and her pedigree suggests that this extra furlong could suit.
