Still to win and had plenty of chances now; not been seeing it out over 7f lately, though, latterly in a hood and this mark is surely within range if things fall his way.

It took him a long time to get off the mark but he has won three of his last six starts and two of his last three; form of latest Pontefract (6f, good) success couldn't be working out much better (second, third and fourth all won next time) and a 3lb rise is no issue; obvious chance.

Unplaced elsewhere on final three starts for Ben Haslam but wasn't running badly and three out of his last four wins have come at this venue; on a career-low mark and could play a leading role back here in a first-time tongue-tie on his stable debut.

Short of room before catching the eye with late headway for fifth over 7f at Southwell three weeks ago; has done most of his winning on AW but a fast-ground win at Redcar last spring shows he's effective on turf; Jet Warrior has to be considered the stable number one but he's still of interest.
