Fine on Tapeta but has done most winning round Chelmsford, always over 1m2f; generally consistent in recent times, without looking quite as good, and has to prove his stamina going beyond 1m4f for the first time; the usual headgear comes off.

Formerly a front-runner but more often held up these days; finished a 4l seventh at Wolverhampton in last two starts but he's 5-9 at Chelmsford and was runner-up over C&D in June; has possibilities back at this track and he needs a close look with Hollie Doyle booked.

2-6 and looked to win with more in hand than the margin would suggest at Chelmsford (1m2f, Polytrack) this month; 6lb higher and now tackles a new surface, but his sire gets plenty of winners here and he remains unexposed; respected.

Dual 1m2f turf winner this spring; close fourth in good Sandown handicap over that trip last month and very respectable sixth of 18 in valuable event at Glorious Goodwood since; looks well worth another crack at 1m4f; untested on Polytrack but must be considered.

1m2f turf winner this May and June, the latter when tongue tied first time (kept since); creditable third of six when trying 1m4f on Lingfield AW on latest outing, but a previous attempt at 1m4f on turf was not so good; unraced on softer than good; others look a bit more solid.

Galloped on strongly when winning one of just two 1m2f handicaps for William Knight, at Wetherby (good to firm) last spring but later forays into Listed company didn't go well and nor did the return to handicaps on final two starts last year; still of interest back on turf for new yard.
