He made an instant impact once handicapping in a visor, winning over 8.6f at Wolverhampton in February and following up over 1m at Newcastle 11 days later; back on the up with an emphatic front-running success at Bath last week (1m, good to soft) and he is 2lb well in under a 6lb penalty; faster ground to contend with today but this will be his last chance in a Class 5 for a while and he has to be high on the list.

Seeking his first win but he has run well in defeat in all three handicap starts (9.4f-1m3f); drops back to 1m today and he could still have a bit more to offer.

Two third-place finishes last season, both over 7f on AW; bred to be useful and market support would look significant on this seasonal and handicap debut.

Stepped up on his 2yo efforts when finishing second to a handicap blot at Southwell three weeks ago (1m); should give his running but perhaps vulnerable to less-exposed sorts.

Well on top at the finish of a 1m novice at Southwell on his seasonal return five weeks ago; that was his first attempt at the trip and he moves into handicaps with potential and his stable going well.

Promising debut at Chester last July (7f, good; form worked out); no progress in two 7f runs at Newcastle afterwards but he has been gelded prior to his handicap/seasonal debut and stepping up to 1m should suit; one to be interested in.

Free-going sort; not matched 2yo form (for Harry Eustace) in three runs for new connections and he looked a hard ride at Wolverhampton last month, hanging badly right throughout; risky on the back of that.
