Very useful 2yo; off the track for over a year prior to a cosy success in a 7f handicap at Lingfield in October; looked set to take higher rank after that win but he was disappointing in a 1m Listed event at Kempton in November; can take a strong hold so the addition of a hood could help; the Lingfield promise isn't easily forgotten and a revival could be on the cards.

Useful 2yo; struggled at three and he couldn't make much of an impact in Bahrain earlier in the year but he's run well in both starts since returning to Britain (in a new visor), notably when missing out narrowly at Haydock two weeks ago (6f, good); raced away from the well-handicapped winner on that occasion and drew 5l clear of the third (who has run well since; fifth also won next time); up 4lb but that looks lenient; strong claims.

Snapped a long losing sequence at Ripon (6f, good to soft) last month, beating a runner-up who went on to win his next two, and he very much shaped when third of six at Pontefract (5f, good to firm) last time as though this step back up to 6f would be a firm plus; could play a leading role.
