Picked up a lot of prize-money during a busy 2yo season and ran respectably in 6f Group 3 at Ascot most recently; however, has probably already reached his ceiling, unlike some of today's rivals.

J: David Probert

T: Hugo Palmer

Progressive as a 2yo, winning five times and also second of 11 in the 2yo race over C&D on Champions Day; should appreciate the return to a stiff 6f having weakened over 7f in the Greenham two weeks ago; one to consider.

J: Cieren Fallon

T: Charlie Johnston

Showed promise in two of his three qualifying runs including when a front-running fourth of ten at Wolverhampton (6f, AW; 11-4 favourite) two weeks ago; now takes another step up in trip but he should have more to offer in nurseries and is bred to be better than this opening mark.

J: Oisin Murphy

T: Charlie Johnston

Showed promise when third of four on his Musselburgh debut (5f, good) in April, but finished tailed off on last month's Beverley return (5f, good to firm) when not appearing to handle the track; dam won on the AW and no surprise to see a resurgence with Oisin Murphy booked.

9-2 when third of four on his introduction at Musselburgh (5f, good) back in April; showed up well for a long way that day but not seen since; interest heightened with market support.

Two 5f AW wins early in the year, the second of them by a wide margin at Lingfield; the handicapper has won the battle since and she was down the field returned to turf at Windsor three weeks ago; mark more realistic again now but she will need more to take this.

Pacy filly who registered back-to-back wins at Southwell and Lingfield (both 5f) earlier this year; disappointing in her next three runs but she got back on track with a front-running third at Wolverhampton (6f) 13 days ago; has already had 21 runs during her career but she has plenty of form on turf and could make a bold bid back in trip.

T: Rod Millman

Pacy filly; registered back-to-back wins at Southwell and Lingfield (both 5f) earlier this year; disappointing from higher marks since - held up the last twice; the handicapper is cutting her some slack now and she'd be a threat if able to blaze the trail from her wide draw.
