Won at Chester (5f, good) last May and he's run some good races in big fields since including at York four days ago; finished eighth of 21 in that race but he didn't get much luck and that was an eye-catching effort after 235 days off; interesting contender.

Useful on his day for Brian Meehan, third to subsequent Group 1 winner American Affair over C&D (good to firm) last spring off an 11lb higher mark; might have needed both his runs for new connections, midfield over C&D at the Dante meeting last time; very dangerous if staging a revival.

SP FCST 28/1

Only sixth and ninth this year, but he caught the eye on his reappearance and blew the start next time; now 7lb lower than when winning over C&D (good ground) last summer; likely to be doing his best work late on and a leading contender if getting the breaks.

He's been an improved model this year and won a shade cosily at Beverley (5f, good) last month; his subsequent run at Musselburgh (5f, good) three days later, when fourth, may have come too soon and further progress can't be ruled out, but it's necessary with this step up in grade.

Respectable efforts last July-September after moving into handicaps, the best run coming over C&D (good to firm) in August when close fifth of 17; gelded since last seen and it's possible this lightly raced 4yo will have more to offer for his good yard this term.

Short-head winner of a Yarmouth maiden (1m1f, good to soft) in September on second start; couldn't get near the winner in a novice at Bath (1m2f, good) on reappearance but made late gains, suggesting this trip will help on handicap debut; also gelded the day after; needs a second look.

3-3 in AW handicaps but record on turf reads 009; made all on his penultimate start and could be interesting if similar tactics are employed, but his suitability to grass remains an issue.

33-1 winner of a 7f novice at Thirsk last September; improved form from off the pace again in all three handicaps since, this season's over 1m4f at Doncaster and York; the latter was a warm race in which he shaped as if a return to 1m2f would be fine; up 4lb but on the shortlist.

Ran twice over 1m at Ayr last autumn, on second occasion stretching 5l clear when 2-7 in a four-runner novice (heavy); made his reappearance in a warm handicap here last week, weakening markedly behind Stoneacre Donny but perhaps both in need of the race (28-1) and stretched by the 1m4f; better may well be forthcoming this time.

Third of seven at Goodwood (1m1f, good) last October on second start and similar form when seventh of nine in another novice at Nottingham (1m2f, good) on reappearance five weeks ago; the latter display failed to live up to his market billing (9-2) but he's a strong candidate for improvement over this longer trip on handicap debut.

Won one of four AW races to start career; 14-1 for turf debut in warm race here (1m4f, good) nine days ago, leading 3f out to 2f out before cracking and shaping like a non-stayer behind Stoneacre Donny; 5lb claimer is enlisted and this first go at 1m2f should suit.
