'Much improved in the last two of just five career outings; step up from 1m could help.'

'Took ages to break his duck (1m1f, two months ago); midfield off this mark last time.'

'Tumbling down the weights but has yet to reproduce his decent British form.'

'In good form (solid third last time); drop back from 1m3f may not be ideal.'

'Was in good form last summer but little sign of a revival in four starts this season.'

'Glimmer of promise on penultimate run (1m); the rest of his recent form is modest.'

'Touched off over C&D last month; sounds claims again off 2lb higher mark.'

'Three fair runs since two 1m wins; up in trip with apprentice booked for the first time.'

'Well weighted but has not sparkled in six runs this season; last win over two years ago.'

'Has been clobbered by the handicapper after three course wins; career best needed.'

'Both career successes have been at Happy Valley; 6lb higher than for recent 1m3f victory.'

'Ended long losing sequence over 7f January; poor effort since; better over shorter.'

'Hard to fancy on the back of three moderate runs at long odds to start his career.'

'Unfancied and has run accordingly in all five outings thus far.'
