Lightly raced 6yo who justified favouritism in a Wincanton handicap (2m4f, good) last month and followed up with a dominant display at Ludlow (2m5f, good); up another 10lb but his form has really taken off recently and he's open to more progress; big player.

Well beaten on handicap debut in January but last month's keeping-on third at Taunton (2m3f, heavy) was much better and further progress is possible if the much faster ground here suits.

Solid record in 2m3f-2m5f attempts comprises an account-opening success at Taunton (good to firm) in November and second-place finishes, including at Plumpton, in last two starts; may do better still at this sort of distance; solid claims.

Scored in first-time tongue tie at Taunton (2m3f, good to firm) in November, his second handicap, and also ran well when placed at Wincanton (1m7f, soft) on next outing; found 0-130 company slightly too hot at Kempton last time but remains unexposed over this sort of trip and may still have more to offer.

Resurgent 8yo who kept on well to score at Huntingdon (2m3f, soft) three weeks ago; recent 3lb rise does not look excessive and he could plausibly have untapped potential over this longer trip; major player.
