Big step forward when third of eight in a Kempton maiden (1m, Polytrack) last month (second and fifth have won since); this longer trip should be within range on handicap debut; shouldn't be underestimated.

Saw the trip out well when winning a handicap over C&D 15 days ago; up 5lb but looks the type to carry on improving and has every chance of following up.

Steadily improving and made it fifth-time lucky when winning by a head here (8.6f) in January; 3lb higher and should stay this far, but the form of that race hasn't really worked out; cheekpieces given a go.

Deservedly got off the mark at the 11th attempt here (8.6f; first-time cheekpieces) in December; just 2lb higher and has run well over C&D but not seen for ten weeks and is more exposed than his rivals.

Consistent since handicapping this year (12221), the latest win coming here (8.6f; first-time cheekpieces) 11 days ago, the first two clear; only 2lb higher but there is a doubt over the longer trip on pedigree.
