All three wins have come over 7f and latest was at Southwell in March; creditable third back there next time but has found it harder on turf since; has returned to the mark he defied at Southwell but has too much too prove, including stamina for 1m (remote last of four previous attempt).

All three wins have come over 7f and latest was at Southwell in March; only 2lb higher than for that win but he's finished down the field in last three runs and he's the most exposed runner in this line-up; passed over.

Form & Verdict
Improved to make a winning handicap debut at Newcastle in December and then bumped into a handicap blot over C&D five days later; no match for another rival who was ahead of his mark (stablemate of Artanis) at Wolverhampton last time; could still have more to offer with cheekpieces now enlisted.

Did well in his first four handicaps on the AW during the winter (1222), but last two efforts have been modest including on his return to turf last time; needs the switch from cheekpieces to blinkers to make a difference.

Gelded and well backed when making all on handicap debut at Newcastle in December; runner-up on his next three starts but form dipped at Southwell (also 7f, AW) towards the end of March; having just his second go on turf and could be well drawn to attack.

Nursery win in December (first run since gelded) came off a 12lb lower mark and he's been expensive to follow since; nudged up a further 3lb since his C&D second (first-time cheekpieces; retained) last time to Illy's Roo and needs to find a bit more.

Form & Verdict
His only win as a 2yo came in his one AW start, namely a 7f maiden at Newcastle last June; unplaced twice after that success but in a hot York nursery and then in Listed company at Redcar; gelded during his absence; needs more back on AW but it is not out of the question.

Form & Verdict
Game effort to win a C&D handicap off 3lb lower on New Year's Day; he was messed about shortly after leaving the stalls at Newcastle two weeks later (6f) and that run can be excused; he will still require a personal best to give weight away all round in this field.
