Form & Verdict
Improved form on handicap debut when finishing well to force a dead-heat at Chelmsford (1m, Polytrack; 3-1) in January; only 1lb higher on his return and the rival he shared the prize with last time has form figures 2221235 since then; key player.

J: Lewis Edmunds

T: Roger Teal

A different proposition since handicapping, with wins at Chelmsford (1m; dead-heated) in January and Wolverhampton (9.4f) five weeks ago; asserted in good style in the final 1f last time, which has earned him an 8lb rise but this longer trip looks a plus if he proves effective on turf debut.

Form & Verdict
Well held in all four runs but he made some late headway after stumbling on his nursery debut at Kempton (1m, Polytrack; 9-2) last August; returns after a lengthy absence but he has some stamina in his good pedigree and needs watching in market at this new trip.

Eight-race maiden; second in Wolverhampton handicap (9.4f) on seasonal debut in April and put two lesser efforts behind him when sixth there (8.6f) last month but needs to find something extra over this new trip; wore blinkers or cheekpieces for last five races but goes without headgear today.
