Found only Realign too strong at Haydock (6f, good to soft) last autumn despite meeting trouble at a crucial stage, and he was back on the up when a neck second of 16 at Ripon (6f, good to soft) six weeks ago; reliable and has notably solid credentials.

Just one win to his name after 13 starts but he ended his 3yo campaign with two fine efforts, notably when chasing home a well-backed sprinter at Haydock in September (6f, good to soft; traffic problems at a crucial stage), and his return to action at Kempton should have blown away any cobwebs; best efforts on flat tracks but he is feasibly weighted if the undulations of Ripon aren't an issue.

Just one win to his name after 12 starts but he ended his 3yo campaign with two fine efforts, notably when chasing home a well-backed sprinter at Haydock in September (6f, good to soft; traffic problems at a crucial stage); 2lb higher mark less of a concern than the fact he has been well beaten in his two seasonal debut runs.

Not quite matched her maiden/novice form for William Haggas in three handicap runs for new stable; edging down the weights and Warren Fentiman takes off a handy 5lb so she can't be discounted; best RPR came on her only previous AW start (7f, Tapeta).

Lightly raced 4yo who bagged some valuable course experience in winning narrowly over C&D last month; the runner-up had been jumping, but this 145,000euros yearling had a bit in hand and surely has more to give off a 4lb higher mark.

Off the mark at the fourth attempt in a maiden at Brighton (7f, good to firm) last September and he reappeared with a close second on last month's handicap debut at Wolverhampton (9.4f, AW); that latest form reads well and this unexposed 4yo is a major player up 2lb.

Progressive form in his four maidens, culminating in September in his second at Newcastle (7f, Tapeta) and his win in a four-runner race at Brighton (7f, good to firm); gelded since; likely to stay and bring potential to this handicap debut and his strength in the market can prove instructive.
