It was a small field at Ripon (1m, good to firm) in which he returned to form last time, when battling it out with Command The Stars and Noelan Star, and this is much more competitive; however, his two best RPRs have come at York and he's 4lb lower than when second of 14 here (7f, good) in May; could go well at a big price if conditions suit (unproven on slow ground).

Highly tried last season after winning her maiden; back on track in just her second handicap when scoring in second-time cheekpieces over C&D (good to firm) last month and she was unlucky not to finish closer when seventh of 20 at Glorious Goodwood 19 days later; respected.

0-5; better since joining this trainer, twice placed over 1m here (Class 6); run style wouldn't suggest he's the most obvious candidate for 1m2f, but pedigree does offer hope; still open to improvement; isn't discounted.

Soundly beaten all three 2yo starts (6f-7f) but placed behind Hunterian over C&D (soft) when upped in trip for recent seasonal/stable/handicap debut; still unexposed and will be dangerous if that run brought him on.

Showed nothing more than glimmers of promise in three novice races for Gary Rutherford last year (6f-7f) but makes seasonal/stable/handicap debut from a basement mark and is worth a glance in the betting.
