Wells Memorial Challenge Trophy Handicap

Aided by the introduction of a visor, he finished his juvenile season on an upward curve (5f-6f); produced a bitterly disappointing comeback run, but back on the right path at Pontefract (fourth, 25-1) recently; a slight surprise to see the headgear removed.

Started quickly, making all and gamely fending off her rivals over C&D (from 3lb lower) in April; has found life tougher since, admittedly hampered in first-time cheekpieces at Chester latest; there's stacks of pace in this race, and others are preferred.

Had the benefit of the stands' side rail when hitting the target for the first time on turf at Newmarket (6f, good; 13-2) latest; has an 8lb rise to negotiate but is open to further improvement on just his sixth start; highest on the shortlist.

Pacy dual AW winner (5f); aimed high on turf, including in the Listed Westow Stakes at York (always behind), since finishing third at Southwell in March; this is a more realistic option (even over 6f) from an easing mark, but he's likely to face competition for the lead.

Made all when justifying favouritism at Nottingham (6f, good; from 5lb lower) in April; bounced back from a poor Southwell effort with a solid third at Hamilton (6f, good; with Mae Amor sixth); might have to settle for minor honours once again.
