Won at Beverley on third h'cap start and this lightly raced 3yo could have more to offer

He's had a patchy campaign but drops back down in grade today and is not ruled out

On long losing run but ran well at Ayr recently and he's a two-time C&D winner

Won this last year and good second over C&D last time; solid claims

Headstrong 3yo who could benefit from the drop back to 7f on handicap debut

3yo who has been inconsistent of late but this first crack at 7f is worth a go
5 (8)	Ugo Gregory Grey J:Sean Kirrane T:Tim Easterby	J:Sean Kirrane T:Tim Easterby	133	tp	4-0729	75	90	70	18d	—	—	+4	7	7.00/1	28/1 3%
Inconsistent and well beaten last time, but went close two runs ago and is not discounted
