Second last or last in trio of turf novices/maidens over 7f at two; could be a different proposition handicapping this year having been gelded; tackles 1m4f here and his stamina will come from sire Masar.

More competitive up in trip/handicapping this year but over 5l is the closest he's got; ran in snatches and merely plugged on last time; surprise if he's good enough; no hood on this occasion.

1m6f seemed the best fit last year, including for a win at Yarmouth (good) in June and also when first past the post at this track (firm; demoted after bumping) in July; perhaps in need of the race when last of five on return four weeks ago and he needs a second look back here.

Went backwards from a fair start last year; handicap debut off a 206-day break and following a gelding operation didn't go well but he was sent off just 5-1 and is presumably thought capable of much better; worth another go over 1m4f; hood goes on; Rossa Ryan rides again.

Got off the mark at the 11th attempt at Newcastle (1m2f, AW) in February, pulling clear with a next-time-out winner, and didn't get the chance to show what he could do back there in March (saddle slipped); probably acts on turf and he's in with a chance.
