Progressive form since switched to handicaps this season, though he hung and idled in front before being caught post when a short-head second of eight to Vietnorm at Ripon (1m2f) 22 days ago; 1lb better off here so big shout.

Unexposed gelding who ran into some trouble before finishing well for fourth in a Wolverhampton handicap (1m4f; tongue-tie added) 11 days ago; looks interesting off the same mark and this drop back in trip should be fine on pedigree (half-brother to two winners at up to 9.5f).

Similar form in two runs this summer, latterly when keeping on for fifth of 13 over C&D last month (good to firm); more to come but such progress will likely be needed; stable also runs North Force.

Beaten a long way on reappearance at Doncaster (1m2f, good to firm) four weeks ago and it's hard to be confident on the back of that; however, he may have needed the run and he was a close second of five at Redcar (1m, good) last November in his sole nursery; a case can be made on that form.

Four placed efforts in the north reflect a consistent start to his career, good second in Beverley handicap (7.5f) most recently; related to a couple of winners for his owner and has shown enough to suggest he can emulate them; solid.

Frankel colt out of a Group 2 winner; promise when placed over 6f at Doncaster (good) and 7f at Redcar (good to soft) last year; shaped particularly well at the latter venue given he lost plenty of ground at the start when his blindfold appeared to get stuck; definitely more to come.

Struggled in first four runs but he found lots of improvement when winning by a nose in 7f handicap here (50-1) in November; 4lb higher on this step back up in trip but he still has potential and needs a close look on his return; didn't wear headgear last time but blinkers are now reapplied.

His Beverley run on second start was disappointing but he led 2f out and was collared in only the final strides by Stoneacre Donny at Thirsk (7f, soft) on latest; the dam's side poses a question mark over his stamina but this Frankel 2yo should prove capable of better.
