Has mainly proved consistent since joining this yard (233213126101), his latest win coming by a head at Ripon (1m, good to soft) in April; probably needs a bit more back up in grade and may not want the ground to dry out too much.

Tailed off on last month's reappearance in the Spring Mile at Doncaster but may have needed the run and those ridden more patiently came to the fore; he won three times last year (1m1f/1m, soft/good) and it will be no surprise if he leaves that latest performance miles behind.

Dual Flat winner whose form in juvenile hurdles includes an emphatic success at Kempton (2m, good) and two non-completions (pulled up both times) in Grade 2 races; drops back in class after a break but he has a bit to prove and probably needs to kick on again to make a major impact.

Progressed well at an ordinary level for previous Flat yard and looked a jumper with a future when rattling home by 14l at Kempton in November (good; Flat winner on soft); only 5-2 for the Grade 2 at Chepstow over Christmas won by Tenter Le Tout and hard to believe he gave his true running; retains potential but probably vulnerable for win purposes even if back on song.

Seemingly boosted by cheekpieces when winning twice at Wolverhampton (9.4f, AW) in April and endured a wide trip before keeping on steadily for sixth at Kempton (1m, AW; no headgear, as today) last month; versatile ground-wise on turf; can't be ignored.
