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.

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.

Eighth attempt when making all in a Beverley maiden (8.5f); left Charlie Johnston and made a winning start for new stable with another all-the-way success at Haydock (1m) in September; 9-4 favourite, something presumably not right (hung left and weakened quickly) when last of ten at Southwell in November; given a bit of time since; no surprise were he to resume his progress.
