Comment: Sixth at Newcastle (7f, AW) last month on second start; took backwards step over this C&D (good to firm) ten days ago but hails from top northern yard and it will be no surprise to see a big run on nursery debut.

Comment: Sixth at Redcar (6f, good to firm) on second start and soft ground may not have suited next time; there's potential in his pedigree and his trainer has won two of the last four runnings, including last year with one making his nursery debut in first-time cheekpieces, just like this gelding.

Comment: 3yo who kicked off campaign with two third placings (5f/6f, AW/good to firm) and a good case can be made on that form; however, three lesser performances have followed and he's drawn widest this afternoon.

Comment: 80-1 looked the right price in a Chepstow classified (5f, good to firm) a fortnight ago based on his form over the preceding 12 months, but he returned to form with a narrow win; can go well if repeating the form but needs to prove he can back it up and he's drawn wide.
