Has remained in form since breaking his duck at Pontefract (6f, good to soft) in April, albeit he didn't find much back at 7f on Newcastle AW recently; likely to give his running but others may have more scope off their current marks.

Won on nursery debut at Carlisle (1m, good) in August; failed to build on that when fourth of five at Thirsk (1m, good) last month but he ran well when failing to see out 1m2f at Nottingham (good to soft) recently and is not ruled out now back down in distance.

Gave fairly good account when third of six in basement-grade Lingfield classified (1m2f, good to firm) last month but this ten-race maiden has a rather mixed record and is probably not the percentage call here.

Kept on for third in AW handicap here (1m2f) in March but was well down the field on both subsequent starts (1m4f/1m2f) and is now 0-9; eased in grade but needs three-month break to have done her good.
