Comment: Attractive profile since joining this yard, running with credit all seven starts including wins in two of his last three; up 3lb for scoring at Carlisle (1m1f, good) 17 days ago but the grinding progression makes appeal.

Comment: Progressive last year, winning twice, including an amateur riders' race at Ascot just over a year ago; off for 333 days before bidding to repeat that success (1m, soft) but was beaten 22l; not unreasonable to assume he may have needed it despite the 3-1 starting price; possibilities.

Comment: Won 6f handicap here (soft) for William Haggas just under a year ago; didn't kick on for that yard but it was an encouraging stable debut when favourite and third of 12 at Southwell (7f, AW) in July; same mark and shapes like he's worth another go at 1m.

Comment: Front-runner who won at Hamilton (1m, good) in May and Carlisle (1m1f, soft) in June; not matched that since but has been building back up and was beaten just a neck at Beverley (8.5f, good to firm) last time; well drawn to attack.

Comment: Very patchy profile and he's yet to reproduce the form of his wide-margin Lingfield win (7.5f, soft) in June, when possibly flattered by bagging the stands' side rail; handicapper still in an unforgiving mood.
