All four starts 1m2f, with three minor honours before he was gelded and won a four-runner maiden at Newcastle (AW debut) 15 days ago; that came from the front by a neck, hanging left and in uncomfortable style for those who backed him at 1-7; cheekpieces go on for this handicap debut.

J: Jim Crowley

T: William Haggas

1l third of five on debut at Nottingham (1m2f, good) in June then second of 14 when the even-money favourite at Windsor (1m2f, soft) last month; has a smart pedigree and holds leading claims today.

Form & Verdict
Promise when making the frame in three outings over 1m on Tapeta last winter, coming in a close fourth of five in a novice here when last seen in January; has the potential for better upped to a trip which he's bred to be suited by on his return from eight months off.

T: Charlie Johnston

Steady improver on AW who won his third race in that sphere when making all at Wolverhampton in April; bit below that under a penalty when third on his turf debut at Thirsk (also 1m4f, good) but that came just six days later; five-week break should have recharged his batteries and pedigree points to grass being no problem.

Consistent 4yo who twice made all over 1m4f on Wolverhampton AW once the visor was enlisted; respectable third of five on turf debut at Thirsk (1m4f, good; hung left) three weeks ago but this race should be a lot harder.

Consistent 4yo who has really raised his game since the blinkers went on, twice making all over 1m4f at Wolverhampton; it was never in doubt there last weekend and he's 3lb well in under a penalty; unraced on turf.

More than hinted at ability on his recent 1m3f Carlisle debut but will almost certainly need to take a big step forward to get heavily involved here.

Lightly raced 4yo who struggled on his hurdling debut in December but he showed some promise on AW last autumn including when third in a Newcastle novice (1m2f); returns to the Flat after another break but he needs checking in market on handicap debut.
