The step back up to 7f poses a slight question but HUMAM has the best form having gone close over 6f at Doncaster in November and is taken to get off the mark. Backspin is open to improvement now up in trip and may be the chief threat ahead of Cluster One then Wolverhampton winner Well Enough.[Ben Hutton]

Built upon last month's promising debut fourth at Kempton (6f, Polytrack) to win at Wolverhampton (7f, Tapeta); carries 6lb penalty against some interesting opponents but this likeable prospect could continue to improve.
Slowly away on both starts (5f, turf/Tapeta) but kept on well for close second at Southwell four weeks ago when the 6-4 favourite; this step up in trip could be a positive move and he's one to consider.
Half-brother to four winners who was sent off at 3-1 when third on his debut at Wolverhampton (7f, Tapeta) three weeks ago; the runner-up has since gone one better and this fellow could be sharper for that outing; in top hands and could have a part to play.
Third on debut at Newmarket (7f, soft) in October and improved to go close at Doncaster (6f, soft) in November; on breeding the step back up in trip isn't an obvious plus but he has the best form in the field.
Down the field on debut at Newmarket (6f, good) last August, having led clearly after 2f; however, he was sent off at just 11-4; his dam is from an excellent family and he's been gelded ahead of this second start; interesting to see if his supporters return.
