The only real blip in his career was when pulled up in the EBF Final at Sandown and that's always a tough race; redeemed himself when making light work of Authentic Legacy in a Fontwell novice (2m5f, good) and he's better off at the weights with that rival; there are others to worry about but he's respected. |

40-1 win at Ffos Las (soft) and creditable third at Fakenham (good) next time, both at 2m4f; pulled up when 14-1 in the EBF Final at Sandown (good to soft) three weeks ago but this is a vastly less competitive affair and he could bounce back; in the shake-up if he does. |

Useful Flat stayer who did not need to improve to justify skinny odds in Sedgefield novice (2m1f, good) on latest hurdling start in November; ran as though something was amiss on AW in February but remains unexposed over hurdles and ought to be suited by the step up in trip on this handicap debut. |

Unexposed 6yo who won a 2m4f maiden in January; about 18l behind Mostly Sunny when fourth on recent handicap debut at Plumpton (2m4f, good) but may improve over this longer trip (although he's not bred for it). |

It could have been the soft ground but more than likely a raised handicap mark that contributed to his 16l third at Newbury last time (2m4f); likeably consistent but others may be better treated. |

Won a 2m maiden on good ground here last May and ran another good race to be fourth on handicap debut at Windsor three months ago (2m4f, soft); he doesn't look ahead of his mark but he's not had a lot of racing. |

Exeter 2m2f maiden winner (good to soft) who has held his own under a penalty and wouldn't have been far away but for a bad late mistake back there last time; he does have a blunder in him but brings potential into handicaps. |

Point/bumper winner; he wasn't progressing as hoped over hurdles but was very professional all round when making all in a four-runner maiden at Ascot (2m3f, good) three weeks ago; it's questionable what he achieved but hopefully onwards and upwards. |

Won in his third Irish point; a beaten favourite in all his qualifying races over hurdles (2m-2m5f), the latest when 14l behind Excelero at Exeter (2m2f, good to soft); it will be interesting to gauge the confidence behind him on handicap debut after wind surgery. |
