J: Cieren Fallon

T: Ed Walker

Reappeared over C&D (good) in May having been gelded and finished third in first-time cheekpieces (retained) on that handicap debut, despite being slowly away; he could be sharper for that outing and he's on the shortlist.

J: George Downing

T: Ed Walker

His best effort from three runs during the winter was an 8l third of 12 at Wolverhampton (8.6f) on his second start; opening mark looks on the high side but he's been gelded and is a possible improver with headgear added on handicap/turf debut; needs watching in market.

Ran below market expectations on debut but finished a solid third, despite being much weaker in the betting, at Wolverhampton (8.5f; behind subsequent winners) later in December; brings the best Flat form.
