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.

Best 2yo form when scoring at Epsom (7f) on penultimate start; not disgraced when facing stiffer task in Newmarket sales race next time; could go well, returned to calmer waters on handicap/seasonal debut.

Quite a spike in improvement when making all in an Epsom novice (7f, good to soft) and the second chased home a promising newcomer at Salisbury on Thursday; brings momentum into his stiffest test yet.

Runner-up on final two of his three 2yo starts (7f/1m, good to soft/good) and improved form on recent seasonal/handicap debut when close third over C&D (good); well regarded and open to further improvement; one to consider.

Three races, best when third of nine at Haydock (upped to 1m, good to soft) latest; helped to make the running that day; dam 1m5f winner and it looks as if her son will be suited by today's extra 1f; should be seriously involved but debutant Poseidon's Warrior finished just ahead at Haydock.

Has shown ability on both starts (7f, good to firm/good to soft) and pedigree provides hope he'll be capable of better now up in trip; however, he's yet to really threaten and a sizeable step forward is needed.

Form & Verdict
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.

Placed in his two AW runs for Simon Dow this spring (trained by Brett Johnson last year), including when stepped up to 1m at Lingfield last time; has just his second turf run, and first on fast ground, but he'll be in the shake up if reproducing recent efforts.

Half-brother to five winners who finished well held in four runs last year for Brett Johnson; not much expected on his Kempton comeback, so that was promising to run well in second place, and this longer trip should be fine on both that evidence and pedigree.

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.
