Gelded prior to this campaign which he kicked off with clearcut maiden win on AW and he then finished good third of 14 in the Silver Bowl at Carlisle (also 1m, good to firm); drawn on the wrong side when finishing midfield in his group in the Britannia on the straight mile here last month; earlier Carlisle form puts him in the picture.

0-5 as a 2yo but there was plenty of encouragement, including a 2l defeat here behind Laureate Crown; gelded prior to this campaign which he kicked off with a clearcut maiden win on the AW (1m) and he then held his own in the Silver Bowl at Carlisle won by Blue Courvoisier; he was only 100-30 for that and unlucky not to be closer than 2l; yet another to bear in mind.

Made the running when beaten a neck on nursery debut at Doncaster (1m, good to soft) last September, which was the second leg of a four-timer for the winner; reappeared with an easy 10l win at 2-5 in a maiden at Southwell (1m, AW; made all) in March and looks well treated today, given that his mark is unaltered since that win.

Flopped at Sandown (7f, good) in July but had a break since and been gelded; showed promise in hot novice contests at Haydock and York (both 7f, good) on his first two starts and the stiffer test of stamina provided by today's ground could be right up his street; in calculations.

Ran up against smart types on first two 7f starts, on this track and at York (both on good), keeping on pleasingly into third on debut, then ran to similar level next time; was in the right place at the right time, unlike the second, when winning a C&D novice in September; open to improvement as a 3yo; goes handicapping with cheekpieces fitted.

Showed ability on his first two starts last year and heavy ground can be blamed for a poor run at Goodwood in September; beat only one rival home on his handicap debut at Lingfield (1m2f, good; first start since being gelded) but that was his reappearance, and his pedigree suggests this longer trip could suit; cheekpieces added.

Four-race maiden who was placed at Kempton (7f, AW) last summer; made little impact over that C&D on recent seasonal reappearance but this hike up in trip is an interesting move for her handicap debut, and the booking of Oisin Murphy adds further intrigue.
