Well down the field after racing too freely in the Coventry four weeks ago but created good impression when clearcut C&D (good to firm) winner on debut in May and is of strong interest if judged on that performance.

3yo who has been in and out but has shown two glimpses of serious promise for his new yard this season, posting an encouraging fourth at Ascot (5f, good to firm) in July and returning to form with close sixth in first-time cheekpieces (retained) at Yarmouth (6f, good to soft) last Wednesday, when he would have posed more of a threat with a clear passage; on the shortlist.

Both wins came in 6f maiden/novice events at Ayr last year for Archie Watson; caught the eye when fourth at Ascot (5f, good to firm) on his second start for this yard but he's struggled in two starts since; now drops in grade with cheekpieces on for the first time; return to 6f may suit.

His second run for this yard saw him shape nicely in a C&D handicap in July; failed to back it up at York 17 days ago; has a point to prove now.

Form & Verdict
Out of a Listed-placed sprinter and displayed considerable promise when second on debut at Pontefract (6f, good to firm) a fortnight ago, despite tending to hang right from the home turn; may be more straightforward over this straight 6f and needs to be taken very seriously.

0-10 for the Fahey stable debut but ran on well from the rear to take second over 6f here for new trainer three weeks ago and, on that evidence, he looks well worth a crack at this longer trip.

0-10 for the Faheys but has shown promise; not at his best on his last two starts and he makes his stable debut (sold 16,500gns in July) after 80 days off; betting to guide.

First foal from a fair 5f 2yo winner; last of six when 40-1 for recent C&D (good to soft) debut; that run certainly wasn't devoid of promise but he needs to take a good step forward today.

Doubled his tally when winning at Musselburgh (5f) in June; bounced back to his best with second of 11 in 5f handicap at Haydock 22 days ago, not enjoying the smoothest of passages over 1f out; likely to go well again off 1lb lower mark.

Won at Musselburgh (5f, good) in June and did well to finish third at Newmarket (5f, good to firm) in July having been hampered early; however, he finished last of five at Musselburgh next time and was down the field in an admittedly hot handicap at York a fortnight ago; has shown promise on soft, though.

Weak 20-1 shot for last month's C&D (good) debut but kept on well from midfield to take second close home; will make his presence felt if able to build on that performance today.

Hasn't built on his promising Ayr debut (6f, good) a year ago, but may have needed last month's reappearance over the same C&D (good to firm; first-time hood); blinkers are given a go this time and he remains unexposed, but a return to 5f is not sure to suit.

Lightly raced 3yo who is 1-1 on the AW, the win coming in a Newcastle novice (6f, Tapeta) in January; ran well stepped up in trip when second of nine at Beverley (7f, good) last month, shaping as though another step up in trip might suit; one for the shortlist.
