Is third-up today and making a debut in a jumps race. Last start came from midfield; finished third of 8 starters at Wetherby on December 6 over 3200m, slow track; 7 len behind Solly's Gold carrying 71kg at $3.50 and before that sat on the speed and boxed on steadily finished second of 9 starters at Huntingdon on November 22 over 3200m, 2 len behind Westbrooke Boy carrying 68.5kg at $3.30. Continues to improve. Looks suited.

Four-year-old gelding by Siyouni out of Victorine has taken a long time to make it to the track. Having his first start today. Not seen on the track yet so hard to assess. Betting holds the key.

Last start finished sixth of 8 starters at Newbury on January 14 over 3300m, 29 len behind Matiwo with 66.5kg at $34. The start before that; finished fifth in a small field at Lingfield on December 21 over 3200m, 34 len behind Aqua Bleu carrying 70kg at $29. Only has minor claims. Place only hope.

Raced twice to date. At debut, finished fourth of 9 runners at Huntingdon on November 22 over 3200m, 8 len behind Westbrooke Boy with 67.5kg at $12. Second-up finished third in a small field at Haydock Park on December 30 over 3100m, 9 len behind Diamond Jim with 70kg at $10. Well suited here, should prove hard to beat.

Is third-up today and making a debut in a jumps race. Last start finished eighth of 12 runners at Uttoxeter on December 31 over 3200m, 53 len behind Millstatt Abbey with 65.5kg at $34 and before that made some head-way from midfield; finished fourth of 10 runners at this track on November 29 over 3300m, on slow going 16 len behind The Procrastinator carrying 69.5kg at $13. A place here would surprise.
