J: Rhys Clutterbuck

T: Ralph Beckett

Progressive since fitted with headgear and switched to handicaps, winning three times and second twice from five attempts; had next-time-out scorers behind in second/third when gaining latest win at Sandown (1m, good to firm) 22 days ago and a further 6lb rise seems unlikely to prevent a bold bid from this improving 3yo.

J: Rhys Clutterbuck

T: Ralph Beckett

Lightly raced 3yo who was evidently well suited by the step up in trip when winning readily at Bath (1m, good) last month; found one too good when odds-on to follow up there (firm) last week but was clear of the others and remains of strong interest; swaps blinkers for first-time visor.

Form & Verdict
Both wins have been at 7f but has form over this far and it might yet end up being his best trip; due a 1lb rise after finding one too good at Yarmouth last time (7f); unlikely to be too far away.

Dual 7f winner this season; looked as good as ever when clear second to progressive rival at Sandown (1m, good to firm) 12 days ago but recent 4lb rise demands a bit more from him here.

Had dropped to a good mark prior to making all in a lower grade at Sandown (1m, good to firm); solid chance off 3lb lower and goes on all ground.

His losing run is up to 13 and he's not as good as he was, but off a reduced mark he's run well to be third on his last three outings, over C&D (good to firm) last time after a two-month break; could be thereabouts.

Has broadly respectable form since returned to turf, notably a good effort behind Dovey Moon; however, still may be more interesting when back on Chelmsford AW; 2-2 there compared to 0-18 elsewhere.
