Landed 6f Ascot novice in September but there's not been much to enthuse about since and he came in last of 13 in 7f Kempton handicap 24 days ago; cheekpieces are reached for now.

Drawn widest at Chester last time and was returning from 200 days off there the time before, but few positives can be gleaned; watching brief advised stepping up to 7f for AW debut.

Won 2yo novice at York (6f, good) last October on second start; mid-division in Listed race later that month and reappeared with good second on handicap debut at Newmarket (7f, good to firm); stayed on well last time and this step up to 1m could prompt further improvement; lots to like.

Not beaten far in a couple of sales races last autumn; not as good in two runs back, getting turned over at odds-on round Redcar before not seeing out 8.6f here early last month, and will need plenty more on this handicap debut.

Finished second in a Southwell novice last July on only AW start; has since shown decent form in various company at up to 7f on turf, with both blinkers and cheekpieces tried; sets the standard but he was only third at 8-11 at Redcar last time so probably vulnerable again.

Showed promise in defeat on all four starts last year, finishing fourth of 26 in a sales race at Newmarket (7f, good) in October when last seen; first-time cheekpieces replace the blinkers adopted last time; leading claims if at the top of his game on this reappearance.

Low-mileage 3yo who went close when dropped back to 6f at Windsor (6f, good to soft) last month and also ran well when fourth at Nottingham (6f, good to firm) on Saturday; might be better by a stiffer 6f than this but could have a say if aided by refitted cheekpieces.

Won a Chelmsford novice (7f, AW) in the second of his two 2yo runs; made a low-key start in handicaps this spring but he resumed his progress back at 6f when going close at Windsor (good to soft) last month; nudged up 2lb but he's a big player if he can build on that last run.

Some promise on 6f debut at Ascot (soft) and didn't need to come on a ton to win a 7f Chelmsford AW novice next time; has not looked ahead of his mark in two AW handicaps this year but perhaps he'll do better back at 6f on soft turf.
