Improved form since being gelded and he made it 2-2 at Chester when completing a double in a 7f handicap (good) two weeks ago; up another 4lb but he finished well to beat a clear second last time and is open to more progress at this new trip; big player.

First run since being gelded when off the mark in 6f handicap here (soft) 15 days ago; led late on in a style which suggests he should be as effective back at 7f and the Richard Spencer stable continues in excellent form.

More than capable of winning a similar race judged on his three handicap runs this year, latterly a second of 12 in a Class 4 at Thirsk 12 days ago (5f, good; third-placed horse has won since); handles good to soft but untried on slower; solid contender.

He was stuck in the placings when running well this spring and again couldn't quite put it to bed when runner-up at Chester (6f, soft; acts on quicker) a fortnight ago; mark is creeping up but it would be no surprise to see him in the thick of it once more.

Plenty of racing last year, when finishing well held in two runs on Tapeta; offered a bit more on latest start but still has stamina to prove, having just a second go beyond 6f, and this race is more competitive.

C&D win last September before a good fifth in Listed company at Doncaster (6f, heavy); didn't run badly in another Listed event on last week's reappearance but her handicap runs don't suggest she is the answer, even from the inside stall.

All three runs at 6f, doing best when runner-up on Wolverhampton AW in March following a layoff; those either side haven't distinguished themselves since and he himself faded at Newcastle in April but he's been gelded since and handicaps are more realistic now.
