Has form figures of 31122 since handicapping and that latest second was a close call at Wolverhampton (8.6f; lost right hind shoe) two weeks ago; only 1lb higher in this similar race and he's open to more progress back on Polytrack; big player.

Progressive since handicapping, winning 7f events here and at Kempton this spring; solid second at Bath last time (1m, firm; slowly-run race); could take another step forward back on AW and he has the assistance of a leading amateur; would have more to prove over an extended mile if they go a strong pace

Has proved a different proposition since switching to handicaps following a gelding operation, winning two of his last three starts (all three over 7f on AW); now steps up to a 1m (he's speedily bred) on this return to turf under a penalty, 4lb higher than for last week's Kempton win; respected in his hat-trick attempt.

Prominent in the market for his handicap debut last month (1m) and wasn't beaten far despite hanging left round Lingfield; that tendency would be a concern going clockwise today but he's not without hope.
