Finds winning tricky, with just one from 20 starts in both codes and yet to get off the mark in this sphere. Fell when likely to go close at Catterick in November and always held back there when completing in third last time, both from today's mark. Should again go well and would not be winning out of turn.
Sole success came in a Wolverhampton maiden over two years ago and he made the frame here over shorter in August of that year. Not seen too much action in handicaps yet and already 12lb lower than initial mark. Trainer beginning to look like he has something to work with and a market check is advised.
Been in good form since the turn of the year, winning his last two at Catterick and Exeter for a total rise of 11lb. Both wins on good to soft, but acts on a sound surface and with his rider's claim to help negate latest 8lb rise he can again go very well.
Heavy ground winner at Leicester in February, though well beaten from just 2lb higher at Sedgefield last time. All his best form has been on ground significantly slower than forecast, so may find them going a stride too quick, though 8lb claim won't do his cause any harm.
Has not yet won on a sound surface, but has run well on it. Scored on heavy at Newcastle last month and not far away under penalty at Hexham next time. Stable's runners in decent form and can again have a say.
1-31 career profile, including 0-15 over jumps. Goes on any ground, though finding other positives on recent form is an arduous task.

Forecasts
Galactic Power (13/8), Cape Hideaway (5/2), Arabian Oasis (5/1), Knocknamona (5/1), Aza Run (8/1), Yeats Baby (20/1), Duc de Seville (50/1)
Cape Hideaway is threatening a win and it would be no surprise if he proved up to the task here, while Knocknamona is another who should be thereabouts. Galactic Power is in good form and should not be far away, though the suggestion is ARABIAN OASIS, who has dropped to a more workable mark. He represents a trainer in decent form and could be a value alternative to the others mentioned.
- Arabian Oasis
- Cape Hideaway
