One win from 42 starts but this is the first time he's competed at classified level and latest fifth of 9 in handicap at Southwell (1m) was respectable. Enters calculations.

Aye Up Tom (G)
Down the field in maiden/novices over 7f last spring but shrewd stable perseveres and he needs keeping an eye on in the betting on return.

That Lucas Fella (G)

Modest gelding. 18/1 and visored first time, fifth of 8 in handicap at this course (10.2f) 45 days ago, doing too much too soon. Return to shorter trip could help. Blinkers also refitted. Claims.
