T: K R Burke

Hasn't gone on as might have been expected after a comfortable Thirsk debut success in the spring but he did take a step back in the right direction after a gelding operation when making late headway for third in 5f Chester nursery (good to soft) six weeks ago, shaping as if this return to 6f may suit.

All runs on good to firm; highest RPR was his debut win at Thirsk (5f); down the field in the Windsor Castle before finishing only fifth of seven on nursery debut at Haydock (5f); now on a recovery mission but has been gelded.

Came up well short in the Windsor Castle at Royal Ascot (5f) last time; has otherwise shown promise with comfortable win at Thirsk (5f, good to firm) and placed effort at York (6f); interesting back down in grade.

March foal; £40,000 yearling; by Dandy Man out of a 7f 2yo winner (RPR 94); may win races in due course but some of these rivals have stronger-looking claims.

Fair form on good to firm/firm on first three starts, before last of seven on nursery debut at Windsor (6f, good; 12-1) in first-time cheekpieces; wears a hood instead for this AW debut.

Has raced only on firmer than good; behind A'Ali G at Bath last time (shorter price of the pair) when his chance went after he stumbled and hit the running rail; 2lb better off with his old rival tonight and wears first-time cheekpieces.

No match for an odds-on rival when second of four on his debut at Thirsk (5f, good to firm); then refused to enter the stalls at Chester, and after being gelded he was third of 13 at Windsor (6f, good to firm; made the running); contender.

Third in a couple of 5f maidens at Thirsk last spring but showed little subsequently stepped up to 6f at York and on her nursery debut back at Thirsk last September; sold to join new yard for £1,800 in January and needs to rediscover her early form back in trip.

Nottingham maiden winner who outran his 100-1 odds to finish fourth in the Norfolk at Royal Ascot (5f, good to firm) having been bang there throughout before wilting in the closing stages; a fast colt who will have no trouble going the early pace and should be very competitive.

Midfield on Beverley debut (5f, good to firm) but stepped up from that when winning a Nottingham maiden (5f, good) 18 days ago (runner-up filled same position at Chester last weekend); open to further progress but that form leaves him with plenty to find at this level; stable won this in 2011.

Slowly away from outside stall and raced too freely on debut at Beverley (5f, good to firm) but showed significant ability before fading into sixth; ought to have learned from that experience and can improve.
