Out of a useful 1m 2yo winner; race a bit too freely but still made very pleasing debut when keeping-on second of ten at Pontefract (6f, good to firm) last month; makes obvious appeal here.

Steadily progressive at two (bagged 5f Musselburgh maiden) and he resumed from nine months off with a good fourth of 14 over C&D last month; possibilities.

Didn't have to improve to win a four-runner Musselburgh maiden last July (5f, good; at 1-6); creditable seventh in the Super Sprint at Newbury 18 days later; absent since; one of three runners for Kevin Ryan.

33-1 for recent Wetherby debut (5.5f, good), shaping with promise before fading into fourth of six; probably needs to take a big step forward here.

Returned to form at Thirsk (6f, good) last month, making all to win quite cosily, and is now 2-12; 5lb higher in a higher-grade race today but his other win was gained over C&D and he won't mind if there's rain about.

Sole win from nine starts came in a maiden at Ayr (6f, soft) in September; below that level since but he shaped a bit better than the bare result at Haydock (6f, soft) 15 days ago; each-way chance.

Down the field in good-ground handicaps on his two starts this year, the latest at Hamilton on Sunday; however, he won a soft-ground maiden at Ayr (6f) last September and the return to a slow surface may be just what he needs.

His two runs this year have both threatened better and this well-bred 3yo moves into handicaps with some potential; he could do with settling better if he is to fulfil it though.

Tailed off on his debut at Hamilton (6f, good to soft) last June but he returned after a gelding operation with an encouraging fourth at Newcastle (6f, AW) in April; should benefit from that comeback run and has possibilities if he can take another step forward.

Last season's novice win came on good to firm (7.5f); this year's defeats at Musselburgh (1m, good to soft; ran well) and Newmarket (good to firm; not so well from the front) mark him down as an unlikely winner of this.

Won at Beverley (7.4f, good to firm) last July on second start then well beaten in Group 2 at Goodwood (7f, good) later that month; reappeared with close second of six in handicap at Musselburgh (1m, good to soft) four weeks ago but it's likely he needs a much bigger run in this hot contest.

Debut winner over 6f at Hamilton (good to soft); failed to justify a shade off odds-on when penalised at Southwell (7f AW) and that was disappointing, for all that a very slow pace might not have helped; bred to improve for this longer trip.

Created pretty good impression when keeping on too strongly for odds-on favourite at Hamilton (6f, good to soft) last June, shaping as though this extra furlong would suit; not seen since but remains a good prospect.
