No. 3 Draw 1

Has shown ability in a trio of novice events, including when fifth of 10 over this trip at Newmarket's Craven meeting (form is working out pretty well). Drop back to 1m counted against him last time and needs a second look returned to this trip for his handicap bow.

Finally got the job done on his reappearance (first start following a wind op) at Newcastle (1m) in April. Decent sixth back at this trip in a Beverley handicap 11 days ago but fair bit to find with the runner-up Perfect Play on that evidence.

Off the mark in a Carlisle novice last August and, gelded during the winter, resumed with an improved effort in a handicap at Beverley (1¼m, good) where he split a couple of race-fit and in-form rivals. Big player.

Off the mark for present yard in first-time cheekpieces at Newcastle (7f) earlier this year. Lost little caste in defeat when second in a 4-runner Nottingham handicap (10.2f, heavy) back from a 2-month break and forecast quicker ground here shouldn't be a problem (2-y-o debut win was on good).

Shaped well in useful 7f novice events at Newmarket and Salisbury on first 2 starts as a 2-y-o. Has failed to progress since being gelded, though, and needs to get back on track now handicapping in first-time cheekpieces.

Promise in couple of 7f maidens prior to an improved second upped to a mile in a Haydock novice in September. Failed to progress on return/handicap debut at Brighton (1¼m, good) but that run was probably needed and she's not discounted.

Stepped up on what he showed in novice company when a close third on nursery debut at Wolverhampton (8.6f) in November. However, has failed to build on that in 2 subsequent starts, including when upped to 12.3f on his recent reappearance here (heavy), and now tried in a visor.

Winner of 7f Newcastle novice in February and runner-up all 4 additional starts at up to 8.6f on the AW. Wasn't disgraced all things considered upped to this trip on turf debut at Redcar (1¼m, good to soft) and perhaps the forecast quicker ground here will be more suitable.
