Comment: Had five defeats, though his only real blip was in a Listed race; gelded ahead of his return over 6f at Nottingham (good) and, although turned over at odds-on, he was beaten by his market rival who showed plenty last year; this looks a golden chance to get his head in front.

Comment: Adopting front-running tactics paid dividends when he made all at Beverley (8.5f, good) last Thursday; has a 5lb penalty but strong claims.

Comment: Returned to winning ways back on turf at Nottingham (8.5f, good) last month; dwelt but ran on well to chase home Alfie Boy at Beverley (8.5f, good) last Thursday; there should be little between them on these revised terms (5lb better).

Comment: 20-race maiden who can be slowly away; did well in the circumstances to finish fifth at Thirsk (7f, good to firm) nine days ago; remains on a career-low mark and not out of this but comes with strings attached.
