Gamely justified favouritism in Thirsk handicap (good to firm) last time, taking record to 3-3 (all 1m); has obvious allure, being an improving contender who remains unbeaten.

3yo with an unbeaten record after contrasting wins at Redcar (1m, good to firm; 28-1; came from last to first) in May and Southwell (1m, AW; 7-5 favourite; made all) in June; meets a higher calibre of rival on today's handicap debut but he's hugely unexposed and could be anything.

Belied his market position (outsider of four) with a comfortable success in 1m maiden at Redcar; one of the main players, provided that promise is confirmed.

Form & Verdict
Beat one home on the AW (8.6f) in December when 6-1; he cost 200,000gns as a yearling and returns gelded and in a first-time tongue-tie; no doubt capable of better.

3 yo Colt

Form & Verdict
No longer has Group-race entries but both runs have been full of promise and he was odds-on at Newbury last month (1m) when he caught the eye from off the pace; could yet be well above average.

Highly progressive in handicaps last season (good/soft), winning the Balmoral at Ascot (1m) on final start; he's failed to fire in an Irish Group 3 and a 1m2f handicap here on his two outings this term but he's not written off for his top yard.

Progressive in handicaps last season, winning the Balmoral at Ascot (1m, good) on final start; may still have untapped potential but he ran poorly in Irish Group 3 on reappearance and is now fitted with a tongue-strap.

Form & Verdict
Has raced prominently in his first two races (1m), finishing bang there in the Wood Ditton and a Yarmouth maiden; latest conqueror ran perfectly well in a competitive Newbury handicap next time; every chance.

Record of 0-4 in Britain then 1-6 in UAE, the win on dirt; beaten long way when last seen and sold for 5,000gns since; market may prove best guide on debut for his third yard.

Fairly useful form when runner-up over 1m at Newmarket (good) and Yarmouth (good to firm) on his first two starts but could manage only last of four at Redcar (1m, good to firm) last time, looking a shade awkward under pressure; bang there judged on the first two efforts.
