Disappointing over C&D last time but in good form previously and could bounce back

Prominent - jumped left 1st - outpaced and lost position 4 out - ridden 3 out - pecked on landing but went second last - ran on to lead final strides (trainer said - regarding the apparent improvement in form - that gelding had benefitted from the application of first-time blinkers and a step up in trip from 2m 1/2f to 2m 3 1/2f on this occasion)(op 5/2)

Clear with a progressive winner when second at Southwell and he's high on the list

10yo who has never won off a mark but this high but he did it nicely over C&D last time

Respectable third over 2m at Ayr last time and could benefit from the step back up in trip

Course winner who scored at Fakenham on his stable debut and is entitled to respect

Well handicapped on form as recent as last April but he's struggled so far for this yard
