Form & Verdict
He's found a surge of improvement in recent weeks, getting off the mark at Chelmsford last month and following that breakthrough success with two C&D wins; now 17lb higher than for the first win and he steps out of Class 6 company today; still needs taking seriously.

Rattled off a four-timer over 1m2f on Polytrack during the winter, including three wins here; has never attempted this far on the Flat before, though, and will need plenty to go right from the outside stall.

Reeled off a four-timer around the turn of the year, the last three wins coming over C&D; found King's Hand too strong last time (had finished in front of him on penultimate start) and there shouldn't be much between the pair again.

Thriving this winter, getting off the mark at Chelmsford last month and winning three C&D handicaps since; latest narrow success has been handsomely advertised by the runner-up (two easy wins since) and a 4lb rise looks generous; sound claims of completing the five-timer.

Near miss on his handicap debut at Wolverhampton (9.5f) in October but he has beaten as favourite (or joint favourite) in three runs since; the addition of a hood could help him settle better and in the context of this race he is unexposed.

Polytrack winner for Sir Mark Prescott in January; two good runs to start off his time with Joseph Parr and he took a step forward when seeing off seven rivals at Lingfield (1m2f, good) ten days ago; this is tougher under a penalty but he did well to overcome a slow start last time and he's still unexposed on turf; respected.
