Keen early and weakened to be beaten 22l at Doncaster (7f, good to firm; 22-1); the hood is retained and he's since been gelded; enough to prove.

Hammered at York and faded out of the picture from a prominent position at Doncaster (1m, good; 200-1); he'll get a mark after this.

J: Billy Garritty

7f winner at Thirsk (soft) in September and he was back in that sort of form when close third at Hamilton (1m1f, good) three weeks ago; sire and damsire both influences for stamina but this marked step up in trip is still a little surprising.

Won at Thirsk (7f, soft) last September and reappeared with promising third there (7f, good) in April; kept on for fifth over this C&D (good) three weeks ago in a race that favoured those ridden more prominently, and the first-time hood may not have suited (left off today); possible player.

Low-mileage son of Golden Horn who got off the mark at Thirsk (7f) in September; resumed from seven months off with a good third of 13 in another 7f handicap there 27 days ago; could do better still back up in trip with a hood fitted and rates a player.

Signed off for William Haggas with a brace of selling wins (1m3f/1m2f) on the Flat late last summer; three goes over hurdles but his fair third at Stratford (about 2m2f, soft) in March wasn't matched either side of it; will need to have his Stratford hat on for this handicap debut but it's still early days and that's possible.

Green on both starts for Harry Charlton but there was some encouragement in his fifth of seven at Beverley (8.4f, good to firm) on the second of them; has since changed hands for 14,000gns and joined a shrewd stable; not ruled out, especially if the market speaks in his favour.

70,000euros yearling; first foal out of a Spanish 7f-1m winner, half-sister to winners High Strung (Listed-placed 8.5f 2yo) and Pour Vous (1m4f/1m7f); somewhat offputting to see headgear on from the outset.

He's reliable but now fairly exposed after seven defeats, from 7f to 1m2f; rated 76 so still commands the utmost respect in a race of this nature.
