Nearly won his first handicap and went one better in the second, albeit narrowly over a similar trip at Haydock (good); the runner-up was disappointing last weekend but this 3yo only went up 2lb and looks progressive.

Unable to threaten across his first three starts but those were over 7f/6f and this Ulysses gelding is tackling a vastly different trip on handicap debut; interesting for top jumps yard, especially if strong in the betting.

Form & Verdict
Bred to be useful but has shown just modest form, fading after leading when fifth of ten on handicap debut at Yarmouth (1m2f, good; 5-2) last time; may yet improve but he's hard to fancy on the figures.

Eight-race maiden who is proving inconsistent but has possibilities on peak effort, namely short-head second off current mark at Haydock (11.5f) three starts ago; tongue-tie replaces cheekpieces.

Well beaten at a short price without headgear last time and it's no surprise to see the cheekpieces back in place; holds obvious claims on his previous Haydock near-miss.

Still a maiden after six starts but lost out only by a short head over similar trip to today's at Haydock (good; wore cheekpieces) three weeks ago, despite racing too freely; might be more relaxed with the headgear left off here; respected.

Campaigned solely on AW so far; has thrived since stepped up to 1m4f, comfortably winning at Wolverhampton 12 days ago; a 5lb rise does not look harsh and he'll be thereabouts again if proving as effective on turf.

J: Kieran O’Neill

Has shown improvement since stepping up in trip, finishing second on his last two runs despite taking a keen hold, the latest over C&D last month; sports a first-time hood and if that helps him to settle then he holds strong claims.

Form & Verdict
Gelded and upped in distance, showed much improved form to win 12-runner race at Beverley (1m2f, good to firm) on reappearance, pulling well clear with a rival who has since gone one better; should be at least as effective over this longer distance; still unexposed and has solid credentials.

Won handicap/seasonal debut at Beverley (1m2f, good to firm) in April but odds-on flop over 11.6f at Haydock next time; settling him was again an issue back over 1m2f in a steadily run race at Nottingham (good) one month ago but he came from the back in six-runner race to win by a neck; up 5lb but the third scored next time and this 3yo leaves the firm impression that there is better still to come from him.

Showed improved form when winning at Beverley (1m2f, good to firm; runner-up has won twice since) in April but he didn't settle at Haydock (1m4f, good) 25 days ago; this drop back in trip could suit and he's open to further progress.
