0-6 on Flat for the Gosdens; not beaten all that far in two of his three races over hurdles, latterly at Bangor in this new headgear combination; should have some role to play.

J: William Maggs

T: Donald McCain

0-6 on Flat for the Gosdens; encouraging third on hurdling/stable debut at Carlisle (2m1f, good to soft) in March but he failed to build on that when a remote fourth at Hexham (2m, good); has something to prove after that and this looks tough on the figures; equipment returns including a first-time tongue-tie.

0-6 on Flat for the Gosdens; perfectly satisfactory start over hurdles when third at Carlisle (2m1f, good to soft) six weeks ago, keeping on from midfield; open to improvement and high on the list.

T: Donald McCain

Six-race maiden on Flat for the Gosdens, reaching a fair sort of level (peak RPR 81); remains in same ownership; interesting at the weights, assuming he improves for this code; related to a useful hurdler.

J: Luke Catton

T: John & Thady Gosden

Placed a couple of times on turf for his top yard, but having been gelded he proved a disappointing favourite on AW debut at Wolverhampton (1m6f, Tapeta) 12 days ago; this even stiffer test may suit him better with blinkers replacing cheekpieces, but he isn't convincing.
