Returned from 11 months off with a very taking handicap debut win at Kempton; up 6lb

Relinquished unbeaten record in a strong Ascot handicap; entitled to improve some more

Lacks the same scope for improvement as some but he has the form to feature
9 (6)	Indemnify Grey J:Ray Dawson T:Roger Varian	J:Ray Dawson T:Roger Varian	127	—	22120-	87	106	96	241d	—	—	+14	22.6	2.25/1	10 10%
Progressive 3yo until an excusable final defeat; now gelded; can continue his progress

Conceding 3lb to Yaanaas when mowed down by that rival at Kempton; h'cap debut
1 (8)	Aerion Power Bay J:Richard Kingscote T:Sir Michael Stoute	J:Richard Kingscote T:Sir Michael Stoute	135	—	7/49-4	95	111	56	26d	—	—	+5	13.6	2.25/1	10 10%
Useful handicapper but he has top weight and there are improvers lurking
3 (5)	Light And Dark Bay J:Kieran O'Neill T:Saeed Bin Suroor	J:Kieran O'Neill T:Saeed Bin Suroor	133	—	073-50	93	106	89	90d	—	—	+6	12.7	3.75/1	16 6%
Capable 7f/1m handicapper but his tendency to start slowly continues to hold him back
2 (9)	Azano Bay J:Jason Watson T:David Omeara	J:Jason Watson T:David Omeara	134	—	054-52	94	110	98	20d	—	—	+8	12.1	6.00/1	25 4%
Solid 2nd last time at Newmarket but no guarantees that he'll be as good again
10 (4)	Dingle Bay J:Rossa Ryan T:Julie Camacho	J:Rossa Ryan T:Julie Camacho	125	—	5-2313	85	107	69	48d	—	—	+6	10	5.25/1	22 5%
Not that prolific with three wins in 21 starts but he's posted his best figures on the AW
8 (7)	Yantarni Chestnut J:Dougie Costello T:Ian Williams	J:Dougie Costello T:Ian Williams	129	—	2/120-	89	104	87	237d	—	—	+12	13.7	16.25/1	66 2%
Ex-Godolphin, for whom he did well in two HQ handicaps last autumn; bought for £100,000
