Beaten favourite on handicap debut but may well do better now stepped up in trip

Good third at Worcester in May and wind surgery since; shortlisted

Consistent but only 1-17 in career and has proved expensive to follow

Consistent and improving but only one win and takes a rise in class; often leads
