Doubled his tally when winning at Musselburgh (5f) in June; bounced back to his best with second of 11 in 5f handicap at Haydock 22 days ago, not enjoying the smoothest of passages over 1f out; likely to go well again off 1lb lower mark.

Won at Musselburgh (5f, good) in June and did well to finish third at Newmarket (5f, good to firm) in July having been hampered early; however, he finished last of five at Musselburgh next time and was down the field in an admittedly hot handicap at York a fortnight ago; has shown promise on soft, though.

Back to form with a bang to land 16-runner Doncaster handicap (6f, good) 11 days ago; that was an apprentice race so she escapes a penalty; obvious claims (due to be 4lb higher from Saturday).

Dual 5f winner (Beverley and Musselburgh); couldn't match stronger finishing kick of Mighty Magnus (runner-up, beaten over 1l) at Musselburgh in June; is easing slightly in the weights but still sits 8lb above her last winning mark.

Form & Verdict
Led late when making a winning debut at Ripon last August (5f, good to firm); beaten at odds-on at Pontefract (6f, good to soft) the following month but that form looks solid; gelded afterwards; brings clear potential to this handicap debut.

Scored on his debut at Ripon (5f, good to firm) last August; has run several good races in handicaps this year, latest when runner-up at Ripon (6f, good) last month; didn't act around Chester in July and it must be a concern how he will handle the bends around here on AW debut.

Debut course winner (5f maiden) as a juvenile; gelded over the winter and hasn't done badly (374) since introduced to handicapping; didn't appear to be at home on the track when beaten favourite (fourth) at Chester latest; the handicapper is slowly relenting.

Form & Verdict
Won a 7f novice as a 2yo and he was tried over 1m on his seasonal/handicap debut in April; dropped to 5f at Sandown nine days ago (tongue tied first time; well backed) and travelled well but met some trouble at a crucial stage; that race set up for the closers and this is a sharper test but he could well have more to offer as a sprinter; cheekpieces now added.

Won a 7f novice as a 2yo and he ran over 1m on his reappearance, but his two runs since have been over this distance; went off favourite but met trouble on both occasions, and he has since been gelded; hard to pin down but he's relatively lightly raced and probably has more to offer.

Won a 7f Newmarket maiden (good) in October but finished down the field having led in French heavy-ground Listed race next time; weakened when attempting 1m on his comeback in April but this first start at 5f since his 2yo debut is still something of a surprise; fascinating to see what he makes of it in an additional tongue-tie with Oisin Murphy steering.
