Off the mark for James Owen at the 14th attempt when leading late on in a 6f handicap at Wolverhampton 16 days ago; returning to 7f no problem but a 4lb higher mark in a higher grade does ask more of him.

Better effort back in the (second-time) tongue-tie from stall 9 over C&D last Monday; that was only a 0-55 and his strike-rate is far from exciting but that signalled a return to form.

Ex-Irish gelding who made it 3-4 on Tapeta (found 5f an inadequate test the other occasion) and 2-3 for this yard when winning an apprentice handicap under Jack Nicholls a fortnight ago; only 2lb higher and has every chance of completing the hat-trick.

Won for Julie Camacho at Beverley (7.5f; good to firm; from 3lb lower) last July; respectable across three starts for this trainer but does have some work to do with Saisons d'Or from Southwell (fifth, beaten 3l in an added tongue-tie); the task isn't impossible.
