Comment: Gave good account to finish runner-up last month in a claimer; achieved just the one win; hard to ignore as recent display was promising and he can handle the step up in class.

Comment: Had a number of these behind him when going down narrowly last month in a claimer; very smart in his prime and normally pretty consistent; one to note as he has scored on second run after a break before and his last run was encouraging.

Comment: Consistent lately and has achieved three wins from 13 career runs; had a couple of these behind him when runner-up here in an allowance race last month upped to 1m2f; can make his presence felt as it's a positive he's dropping back to 1m and down in grade.
