Form & Verdict
Gelded after his second start and he's fared much better since, fourth at Southwell in August and then a front-running third at Bath on his handicap debut 18 days ago (1m2f, good to soft; cheekpieces tried, left off today); should be fine back at 1m and he is more appealing than most.

A low-key start for this well-bred 3yo but was fourth of 14 in a 1m AW novice last time on first run since being gelded; could improve for handicaps now sent further and cheekpieces are added.

Form & Verdict
Second of eight in a C&D maiden on his debut in March; the winner of that race is useful but those in behind have proven less convincing; capable of better and he's been found another modest event back from a break.

J: David Probert

T: Hugo Palmer

Lightly raced 5yo who won on handicap debut at Wolverhampton in December (8.6f) and has run to a similar level in three subsequent runs; needs to find more but he's unexposed at this trip and was beaten less than 1l when fifth at Newcastle (1m2f) last time; not ruled out.

Lightly raced 5yo who has proved consistent so far, twice finishing third over similar trips to this since narrowly making a successful handicap debut at Wolverhampton (8.6f, Tapeta) in December; may still have more to offer and respected.

OR:

Form & Verdict
10-1 for his Nottingham debut in April (1m2f, good), a race where he misbehaved in the preliminaries and then dropped away to be beaten 15l having taken a strong hold; has a useful pedigree and the hood could help him settle on his return to action.

Low-mileage 4yo who has a largely solid record, including two AW wins under Billy Loughnane, since handicapping; good second in a couple of turf events this season, latest upped to 1m6f at Carlisle (good); his turn in this sphere looks near.
