All five runs at 7f and 6f on AW, finding extra to hold rivals at bay on handicap debut at Kempton in April, then his path was blocked at Lingfield next time; the step up to 1m may be less of a problem than today's conditions on turf debut.

Beaten a nose on his handicap debut (7f), after which he was gelded; 2-2 in handicaps this year, winning narrowly at Wolverhampton in February and having more in hand than the head margin indicated over C&D two weeks ago; latest 3lb rise shouldn't prevent another big run.

Made it 3-4 for the year when winning at Leicester (7f, good to firm) in April and bounced back from a lesser run on soft ground with another win at Sandown last month (7f, good; Kimbara second); had just half a length to spare but he had to wait for a clear run and all of his wins have been by narrow margins; could still be ahead of the handicapper up 3lb.

Progressive sort who made it three wins in four starts this year when squeezing through (hit on the nose by rival's whip) to lead towards the finish and beat the reopposing Eduardo Calderon at Leicester (7f, good to firm) 26 days ago; nudged up only 2lb and another bold bid looks assured if he as effective on softer ground (well held on good to soft last year but it was in a valuable sales race).

Ex-Irish; didn't need to improve on earlier Newcastle second to win a 7f maiden at Wolverhampton on last month's stable debut; enjoyed the run of things on that occasion and he will need to pull out more to follow up.

Comfortably the pick of his four 2yo runs came when second of 12 in a 6f maiden a Newbury (good to soft) last September; down the field at Goodwood one month later (Class 4; 7f); gelded since last seen; down in grade for his AW debut but has to prove he is worth this mark.
