J: Robert Havlin

T: Richard Phillips

Won a Leicester novice (6f, good to firm) last July and he was third of nine in a handicap at Newcastle (6f, AW) in January; down the field on his final start for Andrew Balding and now makes his stable debut (bought for 10,000gns) after 153 days off; watch the betting.

T: Andrew Balding

Made all to win a 6f novice at Leicester last summer and a return to positive tactics saw him return to form when third at Newcastle two weeks ago (6f); P J McDonald replaces a 7lb claimer; easy lead seems unlikely in this field, however.

Low-mileage 4yo who has one standout performance, namely a novice win on turf last July; still needs to prove he's capable of repeating that form.

J: Alfie Redman

T: Andrew Balding

Wide-margin win in a 6f novice at Leicester last July on his third start; that form hasn't worked out and he has been well beaten in two handicaps himself; needs to leave last month's return to action behind him but he's low mileage and in good hands so that is possible.

J: Callum Hutchinson

Raced only four times but chance depends on whether he can confirm the standout performance, namely Leicester novice win (6f) on penultimate start; gelded since latest.
