J: David Nolan

T: Paul Midgley

Has a patchy profile but he won at Thirsk (6f, good to firm) in May and finished close-up in sixth there 18 days ago; remains feasibly treated on his win in this race last year and he's 2-2 at Nottingham; interesting contender.

Unplaced in six runs for David O'Meara, but he's tumbling down the weights and he showed more at York (6f, good to firm; visored first time) ten days ago; this is a drop in class and something bigger is brewing.

Gave impression something was possibly amiss last time, taking record for new yard to 0-4; interesting on best form, which includes a win over C&D and close second to Photosynthesis at Newmarket.

First crack at shy of 6f when well held at Brighton (5.3f) last time; still only has a Tapeta maiden win to his name and has had his moments at the stalls; another furlong would have looked optimal round here.

His sole success from 12 attempts came in a small-field 6f AW maiden last March; plenty of solid runs in handicaps (turf and AW) since and belatedly dropping to 5f, albeit an extended one, could give him a lift.

Form & Verdict
Like many from the yard he has had a quiet year but he has dropped down the weights and is now 6lb lower than for his C&D win last October; quite possible the winners will start flowing for Jessica Macey now and he's of some interest.

Didn't really build on a good start for Richard Hannon and he took a couple of goes to warm up for this yard; much better last time, however, when second of 13 at Thirsk (6f, good) three weeks ago; now he needs to kick on from that.
