Built upon his previous promise (including on turf) to win in good style in a small field at Newcastle (1m4f, AW) last October on his second handicap start; gelded since and this lightly raced 4yo could have lots more to offer this season for his top stable; wears a first-time tongue-tie.

9st 5lb

J: Paul Mulrennan

T: Micky Hammond

Awarded C&D Queen Mother's Cup last June and much lower in the weights now, but that's because his form has fallen off a cliff; dangerous if blinkers (replacing other headgear) spark a revival but carries clear risks.

10st 6lb

J: Miss Becky Smith

T: Micky Hammond

Awarded this race last year when also ridden by Becky Smith, and 6lb lower this time around; can't be totally written off but he's gone the wrong way over the last 12 months and was well beaten at 100-1 here last month.

9st 2lb

J: Aiden Brookes

T: Micky Hammond

Promoted to first in 1m4f handicap here (good to firm) last June and he races off 2lb lower today; however, he wasn't at his best last year on his final few runs for Edward Bethell, and failed to threaten over hurdles in the winter on his first two starts for this yard; may be best watched.
