Sent off 2-1 when third of five on his Newcastle debut (7f, Tapeta) in February; that wasn't a competitive contest, but the shorter trip should suit on breeding; Oisin Murphy is an interesting booking.

Third on debut at Newcastle (7f, AW) in February and he won AW novice races at Kempton (6f) and Newcastle (5f) on his next two starts; makes handicap debut in a hot contest after three months off but his stable is in fine form and he certainly brings potential; one to consider.

Form & Verdict
Looked a nice prospect when making a successful debut at Windsor (6f, good) last August, but proved awkward when finishing in midfield at Thirsk (6f, good) the following month; gelded since; half-brother to an AW winner and respected on that debut effort from a good draw, despite the penalty.

Landed a novice here over 6f in May (soft; first-time blinkers) and she's gone close on her two other visits to this track (5f/6f; good/good to firm); unfortunate not to go closer at Haydock last time having been denied a clear run against the rail but was still beaten only 2l in sixth; should get a good pace to aim at and rates a leading contender.

She sported first-time blinkers when landing a soft-ground Yarmouth novice (6f) in May; took a few goes to find her stride in handicaps but was nailed only on the line back at Yarmouth (5f, good to firm) three weeks ago and she's an obvious candidate after 1lb nudge.

Little in the way of solid form but she did show some speed over an extended 7f in a 0-50 at Lingfield (good to firm) ten days ago; drops to 5f for the first time and in a weak race; not discounted.
