Form & Verdict
Beaten a long way on his debut over 7f in June but took a step forward, despite weakening again, when 80-1 and sixth of ten at Windsor (1m, soft) ten days ago; middle-distance pedigree but this drop back in trip should help for now.

J: Ryan Moore

T: Ed Dunlop

Solid form in handicaps this year and he was one of a few closers off a muddling gallop when eighth of 19 at Glorious Goodwood (1m, good to firm); favourite on the July course here last month when eased down after stumbling 2f out; can be given another chance, especially with Ryan Moore brought in for the ride.

Broadly progressive form switched to handicaps this term features a win at Carlisle; far from disgraced when one of several late closers behind the well-supported winner in big field at Glorious Goodwood (kept to 1m) most recently; shortlisted.

He's got better with each of this year's three runs and he got back on the scoresheet when making all with something to spare at Carlisle (1m, good to firm) last month; 6lb higher in a tougher race today but this progressive colt could make another bold bid.

200,000gns yearling; 15-2 and it was a promising introduction when third of five at Newmarket (7f, good to firm) three weeks ago; that run sets the standard and he's open to progress.

Won here (1m, good to firm) in May and also scored on two of his next three starts (1m, good to firm); merely mid-division at York (1m, good to soft) last time and, while he's shaped as though this extra furlong could be a positive, it's possible that the handicapper is now in charge.

J: Pat Dobbs

T: Richard Hannon

Made it three wins from his last four starts when returning to winning ways at Newmarket (1m, good to firm) last month; had just a nose to spare and is 6lb higher today, but all of his wins have been narrow ones and he keeps defying the handicapper; has run well on good to soft (unraced on softer).

Won handicaps in May on the other course here and at Carlisle (both 1m on good to firm) but the rise in the weights and grade proved a step too far behind Moonfall in the Britannia at Royal Ascot; another tall order here.

6,000gns yearling; raced freely when sixth of ten on debut at Kempton (7f, AW; 80-1) one month ago; that wasn't devoid of promise but he'll need to take a sizeable step forward to figure on this turf debut.

Her half-sister Thursday won twice for this yard; back from a break and showed more in a first-time hood (retained) at Lingfield last time (sent off 200-1); this modest handicap looks much more suitable.
