J: Daniel Tudhope

T: David O’Meara

Won on good ground at Hamilton (1m3f) and York (1m6f) this season and he coped well with good to soft when bouncing back with a creditable third at Doncaster (1m4f) two weeks ago; still has low mileage and he's respected back up in trip.

All starts on good/good to firm before he weakened right out of it in the last 2f for the Melrose at York (1m6f) 19 days ago on good to soft, having failed to settle; 28-1 that day but on the upgrade at 1m3f-1m6f beforehand and a resumption of progress may well be on its way at this lower level.

All starts on good/good to firm; made it 2-3 in handicaps when upped in trip to beat Who's Lope over C&D in June; a line can be put through his subsequent second of three at Sandown as they went no gallop; up in grade today but unexposed at the trip and he's not ruled out.

Not fully exposed and it was just his second go over this sort of trip when fourth of 11 at Chester (good to soft) 12 days ago; needs to fully prove his stamina but could go well.

0-7 but placed in two of his four handicaps (1m, good to soft and Tapeta), including a close third at Southwell 11 days ago; stamina not assured but he does at least bring low mileage.

2,000gns yearling; beaten under 5l over 5f at Thirsk but that was nearly a year ago and he's up markedly in trip this time; pedigree is quite speedy.

Won a couple of 6f handicaps in May; expensive to follow since but the addition of a hood can help and he is back to his last winning mark.

Won twice in May and there have been varied excuses for his defeats since, latterly when suffering a torrid passage over C&D 18 days ago; things will fall right for him one day but ground slower than good will be a first for him.
