Fair maiden. 15/8, third of 5 in handicap at Lingfield (1¼m) 24 days ago. Remains unexposed and this longer trip on a more galloping track could suit him better.
Promising sort. 20/1, career best when winning 9-runner handicap at this course (1¼m) 6 days ago by 2¼ lengths from reopposing Trust No One. A 6 lb penalty may not stop him with further progress likely.
Thrice-raced maiden. Sixth of 7 in novice at Wolverhampton (8.6f, 12/1) 35 days ago. Significantly up in trip for handicap debut. One to note in the betting.
Won 1¼m course handicap in January. Even better form when 2¼ lengths second of 9 to Wicksey back here (1¼m again) last week. Likely to give another good account.
Modest form at best in 3 qualifying outings over 7f/1m here in recent months. Steps up significantly in trip for handicap debut with cheekpieces also added.

Forecasts
Wicksey (2/1), Cospicua (11/4), Lord Mayor (3/1), Trust No One (9/2), Contemplation (14/1), Red House (25/1)
WICKSEY won in good style here last week and can make light of a penalty, perhaps at the main expense of Andrew Balding's Lord Mayor, who may find this track suiting him better than Lingfield.
