He had looked limited until picking up an AW nursery (7f) at 50-1 in November; well held behind Black Rock Beauty over C&D in May (attracted support), however, and his last two starts, both here, contained little encouragement (tried over 1m2f last time).

Inconsistent sort who has been campaigned mostly over 7f, winning once (on AW); only a modest fourth at Redcar most recently; enough to prove back up in distance.

Made all off 6lb lower round Musselburgh in April; has not been able to lead on either run since (fluffed the start at Beverley; said to have stopped quickly at Sandown a month ago) and has since been gelded; too soon to write him off.

J: William Buick

T: Charlie Johnston

Signed off last term by landing a Musselburgh maiden (7f) and reappeared at that track when making a winning handicap debut (1m, also good) in April; raised to this mark when only sixth at Beverley next time but softer conditions were a plausible excuse; not dismissed back on a sounder surface with William Buick taking over.

12-1, improved when third of seven in maiden at Hamilton (6f, again good to soft) two weeks ago, shaping as if he'd stay 7f, and that is one of the two best bits of form in this line-up.

Made it 13th time lucky when winning at Ayr (7f, good) last month and he improved again when beating Misunderstood over C&D (soft) 24 days ago; 3lb rise shouldn't prevent another big run.

Off the mark at the 13th attempt when readily seeing off 11 rivals at Ayr (7f, good) three weeks ago; the subsequent wins of the second, third and fifth give that form some ballast; high on the list.

Has led but not dependent on tactics; slowly away and never threatened at Chester latest but a first win shouldn't be far away on earlier narrow defeats, at Musselburgh and Carlisle (both 7f; good and good to firm), closely matched with Black Storm on the latter occasion; thereabouts.

Seven-race maiden; made quite promising seasonal debut when fourth at Southwell (7f, AW) last month but raced too freely and was disappointing when upped to 1m at Haydock (good to soft) a fortnight ago; drops back to 7f with a point to prove.

She ran okay when fourth of 11 behind a comfortable winner at Southwell (7f, AW) a fortnight ago on reappearance; however, this six-race maiden is starting to look exposed and she can be headstrong, which is a concern on this first crack at 1m.
