Largely encouraging form in handicaps this season and he was held up in a race that suited the prominent racers when a close fourth at Ascot last time (7f, good); well worth considering with blinkers now given a go.

A winning debut looked unlikely for most of the 7f trip at Haydock last July but he picked up strongly in the closing stages to win a steadily run race quite cosily; mixed messages from the form but he's clearly blessed with a good level of ability and he'll be more streetwise today; betting revealing after the absence. |

Most of his runs had been over 6f and, despite a small field, the pace was strong when getting up late in the day over this far at Sandown (good; 4lb lower) three weeks ago; would have won more easily with a clear run through; this race has greater depth but he commands respect.

Made a winning handicap debut on 6f Kempton reappearance in May and even better form when placed in 6f handicaps at Yarmouth and Kempton on last two starts; didn't obviously fail for lack of stamina on his one attempt at 7f; should go well. |

It may only have been a Class 6 handicap he won over C&D in May but the manner of the performance marked him down as one to follow, coming from well back to win decisively; beaten favourite twice since but neither race has set up ideally for him; should get a pace to aim at here and the best could still be to come. |

Has regressed from a promising handicap debut here in April when quite eyecatching; still has time on his side, though, and a gelding operation could help matters; a big run wouldn't surprise.

Left Karl Burke for 30,000gns after just two races; then gelded and had a wind op; made a winning start for new yard at Brighton (6f, good to firm) and followed up on his handicap debut under the same conditions at Windsor, accounting for a solid yardstick; 3lb rise is fair and he gives the impression that he'll stay 7f.

Placed in the first of his two runs for Karl Burke last October before changing hands for 30,000gns in the autumn; returned after wind/gelding operations last month and he made a winning start for new yard at Brighton (6f, good to firm); looks on a fair mark now switched to a handicap and he's open to more progress; interesting contender. |

In the frame on first three starts and then improved a bit to take nine-runner race at Doncaster (7f, good) two weeks ago on handicap debut; that win came by a short head but it was a plucky display, she's up just 2lb and this longer trip now makes appeal. |

Potentially very well treated on his second in a sales race at the Curragh last September but he was disappointing on handicap debut next time (perhaps didn't handle Epsom) and was only mid-division over C&D on his belated return 13 days ago (having been gelded); bit to prove now.

Beaten about 4l in his first two runs over Windsor's bare 6f but showed appreciably more when runner-up to a smart prospect (now 2-2) in a valuable sales race at the Curragh (6.5f, good to yielding; fourth since gone close in a nursery); potentially better handicapped than a lot of these. |

Slowly away and found trouble in running before prevailing narrowly over 7f at Kempton, for which he's been raised 5lb; might well deal with that rise (even higher previously) but he does seem a better horse on the AW.
