Godolphin gelding who is proving consistent (form figures read 11324); ran creditably upped to 1m6f at Ascot (good to firm) most recently, while leaving the impression a stronger pace would have suited; in the mix.

Worn cheekpieces throughout; form figures of 113 in 1m2f/1m4f novice/maidens, the third coming in a warm race at Southwell; left for dead by the winner on handicap debut at Salisbury (1m4f, good to firm) but that was behind a Juddmonte horse delivering a career best; should stay.

Form & Verdict
AW novice winner in November and second in Ascot handicap (1m2f, good to firm) on reappearance, despite wandering under pressure in the latter; York handicap (1m2f, good) three weeks later was his first backward step and he's moved up in trip today in his bid to bounce back.

Made all when easily beating four rivals at Salisbury (1m4f, good to firm) in June and ran well to finish fourth of nine at Glorious Goodwood (1m4f, good), but appeared not to stay in the Melrose at York (1m6f, good to firm); 1-1 on the AW (Polytrack); dangerous if enjoying an uncontested lead.

Easily made all in small-field handicap at Salisbury (1m4f, good to firm) in June and not beaten far when fourth of nine at Glorious Goodwood (1m4f, good); with a leading trainer and further improvement can't be discounted now up in trip, but it's necessary and others have more pressing claims.

9st 5lb

J: Richard Kingscote

T: Ralph Beckett

Usually a warm order and he's delivered twice; given a forcing ride up front at Salisbury (1m4f, good to firm) on latest start and drew well clear, albeit from only three opponents; up 7lb and more to prove in this stronger race, but he's only once (penultimate start) failed to show improved form.

Form & Verdict
1-4 when winning a Ripon maiden (1m4f, good) in April on second start; last of six in a Newmarket novice (1m4f, good to firm) one month later was disappointing and headgear goes on for this handicap debut; early days.

One run last year and showed improved form to win at 1-4 on last month's return at Ripon (1m4f, good); needs another step forward to defy a penalty today but this 250,000gns yearling could have lots more left in the tank.

Form & Verdict
First-time cheekpieces (kept since) and first crack at 1m2f when winning from the front in a handicap here last month; close fourth over that same C&D (again good to firm) off today's mark next time; dam was a 1m4f winner and this trip is now worth a go.

J: Jack Mitchell

T: Eve Johnson Houghton

Two wins over 1m2f at Salisbury (good to firm) this season but she flopped in her bid for a double there (last of six) last month; still looks feasibly treated on her penultimate form but she needs to bounce back on this return to 1m.

She raced at up to 1m in her early starts but has improved for the step up to 1m2f in cheekpieces, winning two from the front over C&D; up 3lb for the latest one and an easy lead looks possible; claims again.

T: Eve Johnson Houghton

Benefited from combination of step up in trip and first-time cheekpieces when making all over C&D (good to firm) in May, opening her account at the ninth attempt; below that form when only third of four here (1m4f, good to firm) last time but could be dangerous on this return to 1m2f if able to dominate.
