Form & Verdict
Breaks between his three runs; last spring's turf fourth worked out well and he made it 2-2 on the AW, having been picked up from the Gosdens for 32,000gns and gelded, under a penalty in a Lingfield novice for new yard recently; open to improvement.

Front-runner; 4-4 on AW but unplaced in both turf runs; he will need a career best to come out on top but he is well drawn to attack and still has low mileage.

Has done really well front-running over 7f on the AW for new yard, winning all three starts; has more to prove up another 5lb and dropped to 6f on the return to turf but he's perfectly capable of giving it a good shot on grass, having run well under a penalty in a good novice at Doncaster last spring.

Bought for 32,000gns from the Gosdens; 2-2 since gelded, just doing enough to fend off Epictetus at Chelmsford (7f, Class 4) over a month ago; now 2lb higher as he bids to remain unbeaten for current connections (2-2) and on AW (3-3); solid credentials.

Form & Verdict
Career-best effort in a first-time visor, switched from cheekpieces, and under Mason Paetel for the first time when winning well over C&D nine days ago; things fell ideally that night and a 6lb rise has forced him up in class; has more on his plate.

Form & Verdict
Ex-French 6yo who's proven inconsistent for this yard and pulled hard in first-time cheekpieces (removed tonight) on Tapeta a month ago; 2lb lower than for last autumn's Kempton win but is hard to recommend against some in-form, less-exposed rivals.

Form & Verdict
Landed a third Tapeta win, in a race run to suit those coming from off the pace, when prevailing in a first-time visor last week; a 2lb rise seems fair but whether this easier 7f in a smaller field plays to his strengths remains to be seen.
