Form & Verdict
Hooded all three runs; third at Kempton (6f, AW) and Glorious Goodwood (7f, good) on first two starts, front-running in the latter and his best form; raced too freely in front at Epsom (7f, good) on latest outing, hanging left and turned over at 1-3, but even that gives him leading form claims.

Talented, albeit is a shade quirky, and made a mockery of his mark in Southwell handicap (6f, AW) on reappearance; eventually dropped away in Ascot Group 3 since but may still have more to offer; not written off.

Five runs as a 2yo; made debut over 6f but campaigned at 7f afterwards, running away with a maiden at Chester (good to soft) before a good second in a York sales race last October; absent for five months prior to a facile success in a 6f handicap at Southwell in March, racing freely and hanging left in the straight but in a different class to some fair handicappers; in much deeper today and looks to face a stiff task at the weights but the Southwell performance smacked of a hugely talented, if slightly wayward, colt and this stiff 6f should suit; unraced on faster than good.

Consistent 2yo, including a facile success in a Chester maiden (7f, good to soft) in September, and was last seen beaten a short head in a valuable event at York (7f, good) the following month; back in trip for his handicap debut and the market should be revealing.

Second in a maiden here last September; best form in valuable sales races (also 7f) on next two outings but nowhere near repeating it in his two starts this term; hampered early in a York handicap last time (7f; 22-1) and this is a major rethink on his trip, but none too persuasive.

She didn't quite live up to market expectation in three turf runs as a 2yo but there were clear signs of encouragement with her three in-frame efforts; not obviously thrown in for this handicap/seasonal debut but the trainer is in form and Oisin Murphy is always a significant booking for the stable (57 wins and a further 63 second/third place finishes from 217 rides; level-stake profit of +37); market confidence would heighten interest.

Did well to land the odds when upped to 1m at Chelmsford 20 days ago given she was sat last but one turning in and the second and third favourites very much got first run on her; this could also get tactical but Kempton's longer straight will help; worth siding with on nursery debut.
