Signs of promise over C&D in January prior to success in first time tongue tie and hood combination (both worn previously in the past) again over C&D last month. Races off a 4lb higher mark today and every chance of running well once more.
Finished runner-up to Florencio last time out and behind the same rival the time before. Those C&D efforts were his first starts since winning at Newmarket in September and should put up a bold show once more.
Racing over the minimum trip in recent outings including when making her debut for this yard at Lingfield a month ago. Likely to have improved for that first run in six months and interesting on her first start over 6f since October 2015 (twice placed over this trip).
Winner off a 1lb higher mark over 5f at Newmarket in June 2016. out of form when last seen in action on turf at Nottingham, steps up to 6f here and likely to improve for this outing on AW debut.
Winner three times in 2016 including off a 9lb lower mark over C&D 12 months ago. Stayed on over 7f on sole start for previous yard and interesting to see how he fares back over 6f in this.
Winner off this mark over today's trip at Lingfield in December but held in all starts since including over that C&D earlier thi smonth. Top jockey booked and has won off higher marks in the past.
Winner over today's trip at Redcar off a 2lb higher mark in July and ran respectably in a big field at Haydock subsequently. Failed to beat a rival home back at Haydock on latest outing in September and probably best watched on debut for a new stable here.
Beaten a head over this trip on second handicap outing ten months ago but disappointed since including when third of six at Lingfield when last seen in June. Absent since he remains less exposed than most in this.
Showed promise on debut over 1m at Chelmsford in September 2016 and successful on only start since over C&D last month. Opening mark looks fair enough and likely to go well on handicap bow here.
Forecasts
Florencio (5/2), Under Siege (7/2), Artscape (7/2), Bouclier (7/1), Cultured Knight (7/1), Major Pusey (14/1), Swiss Cross (20/1), Gwendolyn (25/1), Red Tycoon (50/1)
UNDER SIEGE can reverse recent running with Florencio in this competitive looking 6f contest. The selection races off a mark 4lb higher than when last successful but improvement can be expected on his third run following a break while it remains to be seen whether the hood and tongue tie combination the winner wore that day will work a second time. Of the remainder Bouclier ran well over 7f at Newcastle last time out and can place once more on his debut for this stable.
