Fresh after a spell. Jumped at $29.00 and performed below standard when 5th last run at Chester and coming back in distance. Better to look elsewhere.

Back after spell. Was $9.50 and not up to scratch when 10th last start here but was a debutant last start. Likely to settle back in the field. Will need a big effort to win this.

On a short turnaround. Odds of $81.00 and lacklustre showing when 7th last start at Redcar. Few more classier types in this race.

On a quick back up. Started $126.00 and sub-standard effort when 6th last run at Redcar. Would rather look at others.

First up from a break of 9 weeks and was agonizingly close first up last preparation at Newmarket. Displays good tactical speed. Stepping down to a lower level. Slight prospect.

Jumped at $51.00 and was well beaten when 9th last run at Carlisle. Has good tactical speed and will be nicely positioned. Very unlikely to shake these.

Backs up quickly. Started $29.00 and ran 5th last start at Redcar but was on debut last time. Will be a difficult test.

On a short back up. Odds of $151.00 and was nothing special when 9th last time at this track but having second career run. Might be ridden for luck. Not threatening these.

At $26.00 came in 4th last run at this venue but fitter for debut run. Gets a reduction in weight. Do not dismiss entirely.
