Yet to win in any sphere and 0/4 over fences with just one start of any real note. That came on his chasing debut at Taunton over 3m2f in December but he's failed to match the form since. A plunging mark and better ground may help. Yard are 1-23 in the past fortnight.
Plundered a weak race at Lingfield in November and yard have struggled for winners since. Well held when losing his rider last time.
Has produced two big runs for today's rider. They include an 8L C&D success (6lb higher here) and a narrow defeat under a penalty next time. Travels well in his races and has ground conditions back in his favour.
Has been off the track waiting for this ground since a career best effort last time. Has 8L to find with Jamrham on that form and is 6lb better off. The winner appeared to have something to spare that day and now has a fitness advantage.
Beat a similarly poor lot at Fakenham on New Year's Day in first time blinkers. Has looked a difficult ride on his last two starts. The faster ground here may require him to do things more quickly than he would like.
On a losing run that stretches back to a C&D success in December 2014. Hard to fancy from out of the handicap.

Jamrham (9/4), Sweettoothtommy (11/4), Wish In A Well (7/2), Remember Forever (11/2), Grayhawk (6/1), Micquus (8/1), Iona Days (10/1), Katarrhini (14/1), Sitting Back (20/1)
JAMRHAM has more going for him than most in this. A C&D success, a good relationship with today's booked rider and a liking for this ground give him an ideal chance to land an ordinary race. Katarrhini was travelling well in a similar race when pulled up. Her rider that day reported she lost her action but the vet found no abnormalities. She clearly has the ability to win a race such as this and she is worth a check in the market. Grayhawk can give a better account now racing on ground which produced his best point-to-point efforts. The trainer and jockey combination had a winner on this card twelve months ago and this race is there for the taking.
- Jamrham
- Katarrhini
- Grayhawk
