3yo whose form dipped somewhat when tried over 2m on latest outing but he is 4-4 on varied ground when racing over 1m6f this season, with the latest of those wins at Thirsk; subsequent 6lb rise looks a bit harsh and connections now reach for headgear, but he needs major respect in this field.

Progressive sort; jinked away from the inner rail a couple of times but ran on well at Yarmouth (good to firm) last Thursday, taking record over 1m6f to 3-3; respected under 6lb penalty kept to this trip. |

Sole win (eight races) was an AW maiden last December; bang there over 1m4f at Goodwood (wandered in front) and Newbury this summer, before a lesser show (hung right in the closing stages) when tried in cheekpieces at Ripon on latest outing; now he's tongue tied first time and upped to 1m6f; capable but not the most straightforward.

9st 1lb |
Progressive in three starts on the Kempton AW late last year, narrowly winning a maiden (1m3f); contesting turf handicaps this term, dropped in class when second of seven at Goodwood (1m4f, good) last time; while that was his best form, he also looked a tricky customer by hanging and wandering in the closing stages; capable, but rather mixed messages. |

Very solid this summer, including his win at Catterick (good to firm) and close second at Chester (good to soft) on latest outing, which were both at about 1m6f; big chance.

Better than ever this summer, landing 1m6f Catterick handicap before backing it up with two good efforts, fifth of 12 at Carlisle (1m3f) latest when challenging away from leaders; that form has been franked so he's a player off the same mark. |

11-race maiden who has not beaten many in his five runs (first three over hurdles) for new stable; tried cheekpieces last time; best watched at present.

Signed off for Charlie Johnston with clearcut AW win on handicap debut last September; has run creditably over 1m4f for minor honours in two of his three races this season, third of seven at Ascot (good to firm) on latest, and should not be far away on this first crack at 1m6f.

Displayed staying potential in the mud last autumn but has not made any impact in his four handicaps this season, at up to 2m; visored on last two outings; 8lb lower than on reappearance but perhaps more interesting when it's rained again.

3yo who displayed staying potential in 7.4f/1m novices last autumn and this step up to 2m could be a positive move; however, he needs to improve upon what he's managed on his three starts this season (1m4f-1m6f). |

Stays 2m4f over hurdles; respectable seventh of 12 at Sandown five weeks ago on first attempt at 1m6f, when returned to Flat, but needs to build on that; cheekpieces (tried only once in last seven starts, often before that) return.
