J: Tom Marquand

Suited by the step up to 1m4f when getting the better of a terrific battle to win at Glorious Goodwood on second handicap start (good to firm; front two clear); 1m6f could prompt further improvement and his trainer has won two of the last seven runnings; showed promise on soft on debut; key player.

T: William Haggas

Won 1m2f maiden at Pontefract (1m2f, good) in April on third start and he was third on recent handicap debut at Chester (10.3f, good) where not much went right, as he was slowly away, failed to settle and denied a clear run before staying on strongly; this close relation to Group 1 winner Nezwaah could be quite a bit better than his current mark, especially now at 1m4f.

J: Harry Davies

T: William Haggas

Well-bred colt who delivered on earlier promise when readily drawing clear to justify odds-on favouritism in Pontefract novice (1m2f, good) in April, his third run; makes handicap debut after ten-week break but should still have a fair bit more to offer; respected.

Form & Verdict
Ran twice over 1m4f at Roscommon for Jack Davison last summer, finishing third on debut (good) before seeing off 14 rivals on soft ground a fortnight later; can win more races for new connections (sold for 75,000gns last October) but he drops in trip on faster ground and has to concede chunks of weight to some promising 3yos so this might not be one of them.

Form & Verdict
Promising debut in a traditionally strong York maiden last August (7f, good to firm; trained by John and Sean Quinn); couldn't build on it on a slower surface at Redcar in October (stable debut); remains with potential and this trip should suit on pedigree.
