3yo with just one win from his 15 starts and he was held at Chepstow last time; however, he was in good form previously and was beaten just under 1l when fourth in a C&D classified (firm) two starts ago; could bounce back and be in the mix.

Still a maiden on turf but is in a consistent vein of form, close fourth at Bath (5.7f) kept to classified level last time; gained his AW handicap success off current mark; solid chance.

Form & Verdict
Progressive at a low level since handicapping, getting off the mark at Chelmsford last month; step up to 6f didn't benefit her at Southwell on New Year's Day but she can't be discounted back at 5f; ridden today by a 7lb claimer who has made a flying start to his career.

Untried on softer than good ground; three runs on turf and the best of them came last time out when third of 12 at Windsor (6f, good) 19 days ago; was mucked about that day and this dual 5f AW winner should be fine back down in trip, especially given a likely good gallop despite the small field.

3 yo Colt

Form & Verdict
Finished last in his three runs in novice/maiden company; more encouragement when keeping on for a never-dangerous fourth at Chelmsford on last month's handicap debut (6f), a race where he still looked to be learning his job; open to improvement and he needs monitoring for market confidence.
