Progressive 3yo who came from off the pace to win over this C&D last month and followed up with a comfortable success at Lingfield (1m, AW) 20 days ago, making it three wins from his last four; now steps up in class off this 8lb higher mark but he can't be dismissed in his current form.

J: Luke Morris

Consistent gelding who won well at Lingfield (1m, AW) and with a clear run he might well have followed up off 6lb higher over C&D a month ago (beaten by Roi De Coeur); up another 4lb but he was clear of the third last time and looks a good bet to give his running.

Won two nurseries here (1m/7f) last October and ran his best race since when second of six at Lingfield (1m, AW; first-time cheekpieces) last month; continues to drop down the weights and he's a player if he can build on that last run.

A maiden after 11 starts but hasn't been with current stable long and comes here after making the frame in two 7f Epsom handicaps last month; looks ready or another crack at 1m and this return to Polytrack won't be a problem; could have a say.
