Form & Verdict
Third of 11 in a novice at Salisbury (1m, good) in October on second start; gelded before he improved again when second of ten to a good prospect at Kempton (1m, AW) in December, which gives him the best form in this line-up; major claims, although 1m2f is not absolutely certain to suit and he's tended to hang right on his last two starts.

Built on earlier promise to land 1m2f Bath novice on his return but came in last of six on his handicap debut at Sandown (1m2f) later in April; needs to bounce back.

Narrowly landed a 1m1f maiden at Yarmouth last September and he ran to a similar level when second at Bath on his reappearance last month (1m2f, good); gelded prior to his handicap debut at York (1m4f) two weeks ago, a race in which he was never far away but looked a bit awkward under pressure; upped 2lb but not yet exposed; AW debut.

Short-head winner of a Yarmouth maiden (1m1f, good to soft) in September on second start; couldn't get near the winner in a novice at Bath (1m2f, good) on reappearance but made late gains, suggesting this trip will help on handicap debut; also gelded the day after; needs a second look.

Form & Verdict
Closely related to bumper winner Topkapi, half-brother to 11.4f winner City Spirit (RPR 70); dam placed at 1m-1m6f (61); 16-1, slow-starting fifth of seven in novice at Brighton (1m, good to firm) in October, which he will surely improve on but two of today's rivals have shown much more.

Acts on good to firm; placed over 1m2f on first four starts this season, before comfortably justifying 4-6 favouritism in a 11.6f novice at Lingfield on latest outing; this unchanged, opening handicap mark seems to demand more but he may have more to offer at this sort of trip.

Placed in all four starts over 1m2f since returning in April, the latest when beaten under a length into second of six at Redcar (good to firm); consistent rather than progressive but, given he is bred to stay, this step up in trip may prove the key.

Withdrawn from her intended debut last July on account of soft ground; modest form in three qualifying runs from 1m2f to 1m4f (AW/good) but starts her handicapping career at a modest level and no surprise if she can do better in this sphere; heed any market signals.
