Fair maiden handicapper at up to 1½m on the Flat and offered something to work on behind an experienced rival when runner-up on hurdles bow at Sedgefield (16.8f, soft) in November. Better form when third at Market Rasen since and he's the type to progress again.

Forecasts

Indian River (5/6), Square D'alboni (5/4), Kentucky River (5/2), Lights Go Down (7/2), Jedhi Knight (9/1), Warrior King (40/1), Twilight Safari (50/1), Some Boy Me (50/1), Division Day (100/1)

SQUARE D'ALBONI can call upon useful Flat form and in expert hands, hopes are high that he'll take well to this discipline. In receipt of 7 lb, he's preferred to Indian River, who showed a good attitude when successful at Catterick. Lights Go Down also merits consideration.
