| Showed plenty of ability in 4 starts as a juvenile, albeit failing to see his race out tackling softer ground than previously when fourth at Pontefract (6f) in September. Just the type his yard do well with having been gelded ahead of return/handicap debut but has looked worth a try at 5f. | ||||||||

| Maiden who wasted no time getting back to form having returned to this trip when fourth at Haydock (soft) 2 weeks ago, albeit not posing much of a win threat. Best effort to date came under an attacking ride, so positive tactics from high draw may well suit ideally. | ||||||||

| Fair form when second on 7f Chelmsford debut in March but not kicked on in trio of subsequent starts in novice events. Now tried in a visor for handicap debut and too soon to be writing him off given stable he represents and market confidence would look significant. | ||||||||

BRAVE TRAVELLER needs to prove himself as effective on turf as on all-weather, but he arrives having pulled nicely clear of the remainder having found only another improver too strong at Newcastle 17 days ago and is selected to prove the point from his high draw. Showtown looks a likely danger, with returning Napolian, Von Trotter and Empress Olivia others worth a look. |
