Can miss the break but he finished well to score off 3lb lower at Wolverhampton (7f, AW) in June; reached the frame there in his last two starts, but he needs to find more to get back on the scoresheet and not sure this drop to 6f will suit.

Off the mark when winning over C&D last month, but he wasn't helped by a slow start and racing wide on the home turn when a 5l third here nine days ago; stable is in form and he could be worth another chance.

Most of his form has been modest but he has run twice over C&D, finishing second in April and winning last month; not so good at Newcastle last time but the return to Wolverhampton should give him a lift.

Has form figures of 3112 and that latest second was a close call in a Redcar handicap (1m2f, good to firm) last month; now goes up in trip and grade and but he's only 1lb higher than last time and he should have more to offer; dangerous.

Comfortably prevailed in Doncaster handicap (1m2f, good to firm) on seasonal debut, following up his autumn AW success (1m, AW) and taking record to 2-3; the only unexposed contender in this field and commands respect with further improvement on the cards.

Both starts over 1m on Tapeta last autumn, improving from his debut to land a novice that's worked out well enough; longer trip should suit on pedigree now handicapping and the market will give some clues after eight months off.

Good start when fourth of five but only beaten about 2l on his debut at Sandown (7f, good to firm) in July and was demoted from first for interference back there (1m, good) the following month; has been gelded and looks very difficult to oppose; AW debut.

Found an ordinary Wolverhampton handicap when winning in first-time cheekpieces off 2lb lower two months ago; easy to back on turf last time, when running to a similar level, and today's extra furlong won't hurt on that evidence.
