Two AW wins last year; didn't run badly in a stronger handicap at Doncaster ten days ago (not well drawn as things panned out); each-way shout going back around a left-hand bend.

Form & Verdict
Failed to win in six starts for Joseph O'Brien and he ran poorly at Fairyhouse when last seen in June (7f, good; cheekpieces first time); subsequently changed hands for 30,000gns and new connections look to have found the perfect opening, with each of his first five starts better than anything achieved by today's opposition; obvious claims.

16-race maiden who can be difficult to settle and was well beaten at Ripon (1m, good) last month on sole previous run beyond 7f; however, he kept on strongly for seventh of 13 at Catterick (7f, good) last time, suggesting this trip might be worth a go, and his mark continues to fall; visor removed.

Dam a winning sprinter from a good family and he has shown useful ability in his two starts (both 7f), finishing third at Redcar on debut (good) and then winning at Redcar last month (good to firm); can do better but defying a penalty won't be easy on his AW debut.
