Form & Verdict
He made an instant impact once handicapping in a visor, winning over 8.6f at Wolverhampton in February and following up over 1m at Newcastle 11 days later; back on the up with an emphatic front-running success at Bath last week (1m, good to soft) and he is 2lb well in under a 6lb penalty; faster ground to contend with today but this will be his last chance in a Class 5 for a while and he has to be high on the list.

Is enjoying a fine season and racked up a fourth victory at Doncaster (1m) in April; posted another very good effort when runner-up in 1m2f handicap at Epsom six days ago; this likeable front runner is a player once more off an unchanged mark.

Usually ridden by Rose Dawes; won four of seven handicaps, all once visored, including from the front over 1m at Bath (good to soft) and Doncaster when returned to turf; helped to set a strong gallop when fifth of ten at Haydock latest but he needs to resume improvement and this new trip is not sure to help.

The winner of four of his six handicap runs since fitted with a visor, including two impressive front-running displays since returned to turf (1m; good to soft and good to firm); 5lb higher in a stronger race but he cannot be passed over at all lightly, such has been his progress.

Well on top at the finish of a 1m novice at Southwell on his seasonal return five weeks ago; that was his first attempt at the trip and he moves into handicaps with potential and his stable going well.

Third to two better-fancied rivals on seasonal reappearance at Doncaster (1m, good to firm) in April, and occupied that same position in a three-runner affair at Hamilton (8.5f) subsequently; a glance at his pedigree suggests that tackling this longer trip isn't an obvious move.

Reliable 3yo whose two wins (from 13 races) were in very small fields, latterly when making all at Newmarket (1m2f, good to firm) three weeks ago; that was a runaway win and the first time he's made the running, but he's 5lb higher today in what looks a more competitive race.

Successful in 1m handicap on AW as 2yo but he ran through the options over that trip; seemed to stay this trip on Lingfield AW last time, coming from off the pace to take third of six behind one who followed up and this might end by not being a true test of stamina anyway; respected.

Changed stables this spring and he was a close third on his first two runs for the yard (7f, good/good to firm) before a deserved win at Doncaster (7f, good to firm) last month, getting off the mark at the tenth attempt with Flight Control and Three Non Blondes close up; respected up just 2lb.

Yet to score but he built up a solid record for Simon and Ed Crisford and has shaped well on both runs for his new yard when a close third in handicaps at York (7f) and over C&D; can race off the same mark here so another bold showing is on the cards.

0-9 and had been regressive this year, but last month's fourth of nine at Beverley (1m2f, good to firm) was a step back in the right direction; ran well on soft ground last September and he's not ruled out.
