Came good with back-to-back wins over C&D and he found more progress when going close in his hat-trick bid at Thirsk (7f) last Monday; went down fighting behind the favourite in that race and he's a major player again off the same mark back on Tapeta.

Still improving at the age of six and he ran another sound race when second of 12 behind a rejuvenated sprinter over C&D eight days ago, travelling notably strongly; yet to win on fast ground but fully effective on it; strong claims. |

Scored at Newcastle (6f) at the start of the year and has kept his form well since, fifth of 18 (third home in his group) in 6f Ripon handicap 13 days ago; he's one for the shortlist. |

Resumed his progress when a narrow winner at Doncaster (7f, good to firm) last month, bringing overall record since fitted with cheekpieces to 3-7; admirable type who is just 2lb higher here and he's unexposed on AW; respected back in this sphere.

Dual winner over 6f on Tapeta last winter but has a mixed record since and he's been well below form in his last four runs; now returns to AW off 9lb lower than for last win but his losing run is up to 11 and he has plenty to prove back up in trip; blinkers removed and visor returns.

Both wins were gained at this track (6f) last autumn but he's finished down the field in his last four runs and the latest was over C&D (tongue-tie added) last month; has something to prove and he's still 4lb higher than for his last success.

9st 9lb |
7f win at Musselburgh in August was followed by four low-key efforts (7f to 1m1f) but the addition of a visor and a drop to 6f prompted significant improvement here on Friday, travelling strongly before bounding clear in the final furlong to win by 10l; headgear not sure to be so effective a second time but he's clearly thrown in under a 6lb penalty. |

Has been generally disappointing since his Hamilton novice win (5f, good to soft) last June but he's on a reduced mark and showed some promising signs with his keeping-on fourth at Leicester (second run after wind surgery) last month; now makes his AW debut but looks worth a try at this new trip and has each-way claims if he can build on that last run.

Finally snapped a barren sequence at Catterick (7f classified stakes, good to soft) last month, but appears to have gradually lost his way since; AW record reads 1-12, so it is debatable as to whether he truly relishes artificial surfaces; safer options lie elsewhere. |
