Clobbered by the handicapper after getting off the mark at the first time of asking back in 2015 but raced just seven times since then. Sets a high standard on the ratings and interesting that he's already proved he retains ability. Player.

Won over C&D earlier in the month and is going the right way. Rallied gamely in the latter stages on that occasion and can make this a good test if delivering a repeat dose.

Won on good to firm ground at Thirsk on debut but had to be withdrawn when troublesome at the start on his only other intended run. Doesn't seem the most straightforward but has ability so worth a betting check.

Won on debut at Catterick but had no excuse when last of ten runners at Lingfield last month. Comes here with something to prove after that and is hard to recommend.

Well held behind Maximinus Thrax over C&D earlier this month and no obvious reason why that form won't be upheld. Best watched.
