Was returning from a layoff when third of six on Chelmsford AW in March and was all the better for that run when hanging on grimly to his lead in a C&D maiden last month, until seen off late by a Listed-class rival; left Andrew Balding for 35,000gns since; form claims on handicap debut.

J: Jason Watson

Brother to a Grade 2 winner and half-brother to several other very useful winners; faced a tough task on his debut last summer; finished a remote last there but needed the experience badly and this is somewhat easier for a yard going well of late.

Both starts on AW, finishing second to useful sort in 7f event at Wolverhampton and a fading third over 1m at Southwell; possibilities with this drop back in trip looking favourable.

Gelded after finishing fifth of eight on his turf debut over 7f at Newmarket in April; opening mark looks reasonable and this experiment at sprinting is well worth a go too; interesting.

82,000gns breeze-up purchase who finished 6l second to a very promising sort on his debut at Wolverhampton (7f, Tapeta) 17 days ago; looks the part and is a firm contender to build on that.

Front-running third of seven in autumn maiden (6.5f, soft) that wasn't particularly deep by usual Newbury standards; however, may still show improvement this year.

Inclined to pull hard on comeback and was said to have hung right last time, both round undulating courses (7f); has shown enough ability to suggest he can be a factor now handicapping at a sensible level though.

Shaped well when third in a 6f Newbury maiden on debut in October but he beat only one home on his return in a 7f Newmarket maiden last month; worth another chance.
