Finished a close fourth in the Spring Mile at Doncaster in March when rated 6lb higher (1m, good to soft); short of that level in three runs since, including when sent off favourite at Sandown last month (7f, soft; after three months off); drops in class with a hood tried but he comes with risk attached.

Verdict

The suggestion is ATA RANGI who may have more to offer for his current stable. Interesting handicap debutante Alerta Maxima is second choice, ahead of Hot Cash who is still unexposed on forecast slow ground. Several others have clear possibilities.[Steve Boow]
