Narrow winner of an 11-runner 7f Newcastle handicap last month and has continued in form there, not seen to best effect and not knocked about in 0-75 last week. Has gone well here previously and one to consider.

Plenty of placed efforts in all-weather novices/maidens last year and ran his best race in handicaps when narrowly losing out in 3-way finish at Kempton (7f) last time. Respected from the same mark.

Back on the up provided with a suitably strong gallop when winning a 12-runner C&D handicap at the turn of the year. Not seen to best effect making the running into a strong headwind in amateurs handicap at Doncaster since and can bounce back.

Blinkered for the first time when winning a 9-runner Newcastle handicap (6f) in November. Failed to back that up on return from 5 months off with first-time cheekpieces (retained) here recently and needs to find more.

Wide-margin winner over C&D in January and bounced back when landing 7f Wolverhampton handicap 6 weeks ago. Whether he's in the same form now is anyone's guess.
