Slightly inconsistent in a series of maidens and a handicap, but this represents one of his easier assignments to date, with a talented apprentice taking a useful 7lb off his back.
Consistent over this trip recently, managing to go close on each occasion and remaining on a similar mark. Looks likely to just come up just short now back on level-weights.
Off the mark at a short price on Newcastle's Tapeta last time. This represents a step up in class and hasn't raced since October, but he has plenty of scope to improve and should enjoy the step up in trip.
No obvious improvement stepped up in trip last time with her only win to date having come over a mile at Newcastle. Need to find more up against these rivals.

Alexander M (11/10), Crushed (7/4), Second Page (3/1), Doctor Cross (9/2), Three Duchesses (10/1)
If able to come on for a Newcastle maiden victory in October, CRUSHED looks to be the one to beat here. William Haggas' charge had only two runs last year but showed plenty of improvement on his second start and is by far the least exposed option here. Second Page has more potential in a race of this nature being ridden by a respected apprentice, while Doctor Cross has also showed talent in maidens and is interesting here.
