Won handicaps with something to spare at Southwell and Wolverhampton in January and is likely to give his running again having finished close fourth of 10 at Wolverhampton (9/2) 11 days ago. Others might be better weighted now, however.

Hit the frame for third consecutive race when fourth of 9 at Chelmsford last week but widest draw isn't ideal for one who's proved difficult to win with.

Chased home a fellow in-form sort at this track last week and, while he'll need some luck from stall 1 (often starts slowly), his excellent course record makes him the one to beat.

Inconsistent maiden who would need to get back to best for a switch of yards.

In contrast to previous two starts, had no excuses when fifth of 8 at Lingfield (5/1) 14 days ago and is possibly better over 1m nowadays.

Underlined his consistency for current yard with a course win/second this month and no reason to think the quick turnaround will be an issue.

Looked as good as ever when narrowly denied over C&D off 1 lb lower last month but 2 runs since haven't been up to that mark.
