J: Luke Morris

T: Archie Watson

Won two 6f events on Polytrack in February; unplaced in both handicaps though and his latest 2lb drop isn't enough to tempt.

9st 9lb

J: Luke Morris

T: Archie Watson

All four runs over 6f; dead-heated in a Chelmsford maiden and narrowly defied a penalty here in a novice that's worked out well; made an underwhelming handicap debut at Southwell but he's back at Lingfield with cheekpieces added and well drawn to boot.

9st 9lb

J: Hollie Doyle

T: Archie Watson

Unplaced in his one turf start as a 2yo; gelded afterwards and made a winning reappearance when dead-heating in a Chelmsford maiden six weeks ago (6f); narrowly defied a penalty at Lingfield 13 days later and that form has been boosted with the second and fourth winning since; needs more to defy this mark but he is willing and could progress further.

Form & Verdict
Showed some ability in three starts over 5f/6f on turf for Jessica Harrington last year and he posted an improved effort when beaten a neck in a handicap at Kempton on his AW/yard debut last month (also his first start since being gelded); returns to maiden company with solid claims.

Ex-Irish gelding who went close on stable/handicap debut over C&D in January and dead-heated in tactical Chelmsford maiden (6f) the following month; probably needs to find extra today but still considered.

Showed some ability in three starts over 5f/6f on turf for Jessica Harrington last year; sold for 12,000gns and gelded; half-brother to an AW winner and market should be revealing on stable debut after break.

Beaten 19l when fifth of 13 behind subsequent Group 2 runner-up Into The Sky on his debut at Newbury in August before being placed on the AW at Lingfield and Wolverhampton on his next two starts; gelded since last seen 131 days ago and holds good claims.

Placed in four of his five starts on the AW (including over C&D), the latest when beaten under a length by a rival rated 10lb superior in a Kempton novice (7f, Polytrack) 13 days ago; relatively exposed but still a major player in this field.

Well beaten on his debut (6.5f, good) but he has run well in three AW maidens since; moves into handicaps with the potential for rmore but he will need to step forward to defy this mark.

Dam won four times in Argentina including two Group 2s on dirt (1m); 40-1 shot on debut at Chelmsford (6f) but she made some late headway and was beaten only about 3l in fourth last month; that form isn't strong but she should know more this time and is a possible improver up in trip.
