Good effort when runner-up in first-time blinkers at Windsor last month, but failed to build on that next time and he looks vulnerable.

Opened his account in a Windsor handicap for Sir Michael Stoute last May, but failed to fire on return there 18 days ago and others look more solid.

Back on the scoresheet over 1¼m at Leicester last July and followed that with a good effort in defeat at Chelmsford. Below par final two starts of last season, though, and opposable on return/debut for new yard.

Has shown a fair level of ability in three starts on the AW, most recently hitting the crossbar in a five-runner Wolverhampton (12.2f) novice. Needs more on this handicap/turf debut, but that is entirely possible.

Signed off last season on a high with the hood refitted at Wolverhampton (12.2f) in October, readily accounting for his rivals. 5 lb rise fair enough, but the run may be needed following seven months off.

Had plenty in hand when completing the four-timer at Lingfield (1½m, AW) recently. Up 7 lb and needs to prove that he can reproduce that form back on turf, but he will have every chance if able to do so.

Improved when making a winning handicap bow at Lingfield (13f, AW) in February, showcasing good battling qualities in the process. This 4 lb higher mark should be within reach and he merits respect on turf debut.

Yet to get his head in front, but found just one too good on three occasions last season, including at Yarmouth (11.5f, good to firm) on final start of 2021. Subsequently gelded and he's certainly not without hope.

Promising fourth off 11 in a Yarmouth maiden on debut last spring, but she has failed to build on that in two subsequent starts and needs to raise her game now pitched into a handicap.

WAY OF LIFE looked better than ever when notching his fouth win on the bounce at Lingfield last month. He did the job well that day, so much so that a 7 lb rise is unlikely to be enough to stop him if he's able to continue the good work now returned to turf. Moel Arthur is second choice ahead of Tralee Hills and Oriental Art.
