Had a consistent year and has won twice over 1m4f; slowly away when beaten 4l at Lingfield (AW) two runs back and soft ground was a first when running no race last time; could go well.

Won at Epsom (1m4f, good) and Salisbury (1m4f, good to firm) last month; creditable second in hat-trick bid at Newmarket but she was a well-held third at Ffos Las last time; still unexposed at this trip but this is competitive back on AW and she needs to find more to defy this mark.

Never better than midfield in AW classified race (1m4f; first-time visor) last month and has now been unplaced all seven starts; needs this new trip to show him in a much better light.

J: Tom Marquand

Safely held over 1m4f in first two handicaps (including AW) and heavy defeat when upped to 1m6f last month; should appreciate this first classified but has a bit to prove now; tongue-tie and visor replace cheekpieces.

Form & Verdict
No match for clear winner when second at Ripon (1m4f, good) on Monday and now 0-6 but that was still a good effort and the first-time cheekpieces may enable some improvement here; must be considered.

Form & Verdict
Creditable second of 13 on handicap debut at Leicester (1m2f, good to firm) last month and may not have been ideally suited by the good to soft ground when only fourth at Ffos Las three weeks ago; moves up in trip today and remains of strong interest.

Won a small-field handicap at Yarmouth (11.5f) last August but has mixed record since and was tailed off at Wolverhampton (1m6f) 19 days ago; may have had stamina issues last time but he's now 1-13 and others are more convincing.

Won a small-field contest at Yarmouth (11.5f) last August; run down late in added blinkers at Pontefract (1m2f) the following month; perfectly entitled to draw benefit from last week's comeback run at Southwell but stamina questionable.

Turf form last year featured an 11.5f success and some good efforts; likely player at this level provided he's as effective back on AW and manages to settle (pulled too hard when last seen).
