9st 8lb

J: James Doyle

T: George Boughey

Lightly raced 4yo who's without a handicap win but has mostly progressed in defeat, with the exception on heavy going; came from last to third in eight-runner race at Newmarket (1m4f, good to firm) seven weeks ago for a promising reappearance and the two ahead of him filled the same positions over 1m6f here on Tuesday; changed hands since and has a major chance.

J: Billy Loughnane

T: George Boughey

2-2 as 2yo and progressive last term in his first three handicaps, short-headed by another unexposed sort at Leicester (1m4f) on third occasion; underperformed on heavy going (he won on it as a 2yo) when joint-favourite for the November Handicap at Doncaster on final outing but that's not hard to forgive and this lightly raced 4yo, gelded since latest start, surely has more to offer.

9st 2lb

J: Billy Loughnane

T: George Boughey

2-2 as 2yo, latterly on heavy going, and progressive this term in his three handicaps; second here (1m2f, good to soft) on penultimate start and he put his head down in a sustained duel when short-headed by another unexposed sort at Leicester (1m4f, good to soft; third has won since) on latest; raised another 5lb but this lightly raced 3yo could easily have more to give.

9st 11lb

J: Billy Loughnane

T: George Boughey

Won both starts over 1m as a juvenile and two good runs in handicaps, especially the latest when running on well to push a relatively unexposed winner close at Doncaster (1m2f, good to soft); might have won that day had the pace been stronger and he's only 3lb higher here over a longer trip.

8st 12lb

J: Billy Loughnane

T: George Boughey

Won both starts over 1m as a juvenile, including on heavy; didn't reappear until mid-August and shaped promisingly if a view is taken that the run was needed when fading late on to finish third of five in 1m2f Newbury handicap on good to firm; interesting.
