Consistent maiden who was second for the fifth time in a row at Chester (10.5f, good) on penultimate start; fared less well on handicap debut when fourth of five back there (10.5f, good to soft) since and steps up in distance here.

T: Andrew Balding

Beaten favourite on his final 2yo start and again on his reappearance at Southwell last month (1m); has a good level of ability but he'll need improvement for the step up in trip if Deira Mile turns up anywhere near his best.

RPR of 82 when runner-up in soft-ground novices at Thirsk (7f) and Brighton (1m) last autumn; those runs set the standard and there could be more to come; has obvious claims and his dam was useful on AW.
