Form & Verdict

Has coped well with the drop back to 6f on his last two starts without really improving for it; might find that one or two of today's rivals have too much pace.

Form & Verdict

Two wins last August; fluffed his lines on his handicap debut in October, after which he was gelded; showed what he could do when bolting up in a 5f handicap at Southwell (first-time hood, retained today) on New Year's Day, a performance that saw him hiked 11lb up the weights; still has time to do better and going back over 6f is no concern; interesting despite a seven-month absence.

Better on AW than turf but handicapped accordingly; retains all his ability and three runs on turf last month were all creditable; will need a good pace to aim at but he's dangerous on even this season's AW best.

Form & Verdict

Well placed to land a 5f hat-trick at Lingfield in January; had gone off the boil more recently but signs of a full revival when second at Chelmsford nine days ago, making up good ground on the run to the 1f pole; the winner there is a very useful performer when on song and this one looks a solid candidate off an unchanged mark.
