Dual Flat winner at about 2m on soft ground; pulled up on his final run over hurdles but that was a Grade 2 novice and he had previously chased home the classy Dysart Enos at Doncaster; has won off this mark and that was without a claimer riding.

Won a three-runner novice at Leicester (1m4f, heavy) last April by a whopping 50l; 0-4 in the meantime and was only fourth of five in a handicap before getting outclassed in a 1m7f Group 2 at Ascot the final time; still of interest, as the least exposed of these.

9st 6lb |
0-5 since making a winning debut in a three-runner Leicester novice (1m4f, heavy) last spring, but he ran well when a close second of five on last month's Pontefract return (2m2f, heavy); that form has since been boosted and this unexposed stayer has to be considered. |

9st 1lb |
50l win in a novice at Leicester (1m4f, heavy) in April but against just two rivals; has come up short since, latest start in a soft-ground handicap over 1m6f; while heavy ground would hold no fears and he's had only four races (made the running in three) so could still do better, vastly better is required in this race. |

Highly progressive last year in winning five times, from 1m4f to 2m on all sorts of ground; went close at Goodwood in August (2m4f, soft) off just a 4lb lower mark and he'd probably had enough when below par on his final start.

Triple hurdle winner who was runner-up in that discipline when last seen in December; he's won four on the Flat, including a 1m4f heavy-ground handicap at Catterick last October when just 2lb lower; fine over this far and highly likely to be involved.

Gained his Flat wins in the autumn over 2m/2m2f; subsequent hurdles efforts at about 3m; veteran who may not be crying out for this drop back to sharp 2m5f under this code. |
