Maiden (heavy) and novice (AW) wins last season before coming up well short in a sales race at York in October, again over 7f; gelded since but may need that procedure to have brought him on as this mark doesn't look a gift by any means.

Six-race maiden who tackles 1m for the first time and could do with settling better, but the first-time hood could help in that regard and he kept on when fifth of 11 at Lingfield (7f, AW) last time; effective on soft/heavy ground last year and he might be in with a chance.

Eight-race maiden who made the running on first three starts this term but switched to trying to come from the rear when hooded on both since; Newmarket latest (7f, good to firm; 40-1) was a positive performance as he seemed to be gathering momentum in the closing stages and was beaten just 2l in sixth of 11; dropped 2lb today and everything may well click into place soon.

It's possible that 7f on fast ground will represent his ideal conditions, and he's not had that combination in any of his four handicap starts this season; goes back up in trip today but from 2lb out of the handicap and others arrive with more pressing claims.
