Barely gets 6f, this slightly shorter trip likely to suit; rider's claim a positive

Hasn't looked progressive in maidens; tame effort here last time over 5f raises questions

Good maiden form here but needs to improve on recent handicap debut

Cheekpieces on here for handicap debut and stiff enough task at the weights

Well held in three maidens over various trips; opening mark looks on the high side

Opening mark okay and not one to rule out

Three runs in the spring weren't progressive; back from summer off and hard to fancy

Recent Down Royal third should relish slightly longer trip and stiff finish; big player
