Fourth is the best he's managed in seven AW outings this winter, despite being prominent in the market a few times; his sole win from 24 starts came on turf but his claims still aren't obvious.

Of interest on his good third at Dundalk (5f, Polytrack) in January on final Irish start; fairly encouraging fifth on stable debut at Ayr (5f, good to firm) last month; couldn't get into it at Southwell (6f, Tapeta) last time and he's just 1-17, but is not written off.

Short of room before catching the eye with late headway for fifth over 7f at Southwell three weeks ago; has done most of his winning on AW but a fast-ground win at Redcar last spring shows he's effective on turf; Jet Warrior has to be considered the stable number one but he's still of interest.

Verdict

Three-time course winner TICKETS has a career-low mark to work with on his first start for Patrick Neville and earns the vote ahead of Little Beck Annie, who won in good style at Carlisle last week in first-time cheekpieces. The drop back in trip may well be a positive move for Summer Rain, while Haworth Star likes it here and is another for the shortlist.[Ben Hutton]
