Form & Verdict
Half-brother to the classy 1m-1m2f performer Running Lion and this colt was nicely on top late on in a useful 1m novice at Salisbury in October; could easily outclass this opposition and progress to better things.

Record is 3-6 and the form of his most recent success, in four-runner handicap over 1m2f at Newbury, has been franked by the runner-up since; came up short in Class 2 last time but this is an easier task.

Hindered by unfavourable draw at Royal Ascot (1m) on handicap debut; got on top towards the finish in small field at Newbury (1m2f, good to firm) since, taking record to 3-5; may rate higher still.

J: William Buick

T: John & Thady Gosden

Started his career with two 1m novice wins on good ground and ran well in defeat next time; 50-1, however, when tongue tied for first time on handicap debut at Royal Ascot (1m, good to firm) eight weeks ago and faded to be well beaten; this race is far less daunting and his dam was a 1m1f/1m2f winner, so it will again be interesting to gauge his market strength.

J: James Sullivan

T: Ruth Carr

Bumper winner; humble beginnings on the Flat but he won twice (1m2f/1m4f) in the space of three days in June; left Faye Bramley before beating only one rival at Newcastle (1m2f, AW) last month on stable debut; however, yard often does well with these types and worth a second look.

Bumper winner; humble beginnings on the Flat but he won twice (1m2f/1m4f) in the space of three days in June; below par over 1m5f at Lingfield six weeks ago and has left Faye Bramley since; could have more to offer; respected.

J: Ryan Kavanagh

T: Faye Bramley

Two short-priced wins (0-50 classified, then a 0-55 handicap) before held off his revised mark at this level last time; that was another in-form effort, though, and there's no obvious reason he won't go well once more.
