'Runner-up twice over C&D recently and had excuse latest; can bounce back'

'Better than he could show at Wolverhampton latest; retains potential after five starts'

'7f course scorer in November and remained in form since; likely to give running'

'Not disgraced in two outings at Newcastle since returning from wind op; not discounted'

'Yard does so well with new recruits but has yet to find the key to this one'

'Seven course wins but hard to get excited by recent efforts'

'Promising close second on 7f Newcastle handicap debut; should stay 1m; big player'

'Has come down in weights but little sign he can take advantage; new headgear combination'

'Useful at 3; doubtful that ability remains but worth market check on return for new yard'

'Second off 2lb higher over C&D in December but below best twice since; losing run now 23'
