Steadily getting the hang of things in his three runs so far but with handicap mark looking tough enough on what he has achieved and no surprise to see him continue in this form of race until his rating looks more appealing.
Ran well in both starts on turf so far, going close at Bath and then, after being given some time, also at Nottingham. Half-brother and dam both won four times here, including at two and could be tough to topple on his first try at the track.
Placed in all four starts on the All Weather (two each at Wolverhampton/Chelmsford), with sole win being at Brighton (5½f). Comfortably held from this mark at Wolverhampton two starts back but won't need improvement to be competitive here.
Best effort yet was when runner-up at Chelmsford (5f) last month, being short-headed there from a mark of 63. Raced a bit too keenly last time and is she can settle better than she is not ruled out of the prize money.
3lb lower today than when beaten 1½L at Wolverhampton in August and also ran well from 1lb higher at Windsor in October when beaten just ¾L. Too keen and finished last over 6f at Kempton last time and looks to have a bit to find today.
Made a promising debut when 16-1 at Kempton (5f) in September, but disappointed when beaten 8L over C&D last time. More needed against one or two of these and will probably make more appeal in handicaps.
Well beaten in two turf starts for two different trainers so far and now makes her All Weather debut on her first start for another yard. Pedigree and form both give her plenty to prove on this surface and she looks best watched for today.

Little Boy Blue (5/4), Ghepardo (2/1), Galloway Hills (4/1), Avon Green (13/2), Shimmy Shoes (17/2), No More Commisery (14/1), Llamrei (25/1), Hornby (33/1)
On paper it doesn't look as though many of these will be involved at the business end and the suggestion is LITTLE BOY BLUE, who has shown ability on both starts and who is likely to be able to act on this surface. Ghepardo will probably emerge as a danger, while Avon Green and Llamrel are others who could join the scrap for the minor money.
