Unplaced all three starts, in rear throughout in 7f seller at Leicester (18-1) when last seen in October; may have more to offer now tackling a handicap but he's hard to fancy on form.
Now 2lb lower than when winning over this trip at Yarmouth in June but has failed to repeat the form, including when favourite there in October; goes well at Newcastle but, like stablemate Heretic, he requires a revival.
Emerged from the rear to win over C&D in November, and he wasn't disgraced here last time in a race that played less to his strengths; should be thereabouts.
Ex-Irish 4yo who has been resurgent for his new yard, winning three times here (7f/1m) in the last month; got up near the finish 15 days ago and a 6lb rise should not prevent another bold bid; major player.
0-9 but looking dangerous, going close in 7f handicaps here and at Southwell on his last four starts; should be just as effective over 1m; high on the list.
