Form & Verdict
Placed in his two AW runs for Simon Dow this spring (trained by Brett Johnson last year), including when stepped up to 1m at Lingfield last time; has just his second turf run, and first on fast ground, but he'll be in the shake up if reproducing recent efforts.

Big improver this summer, winning 1m handicaps at Bath and Lingfield before completing his hat-trick over C&D; not so good at Sandown last month and today's ground will be slower than he has been tackling.

Won at Bath (1m, good) in May on third start for new yard and completed the hat-trick at Epsom (1m2f, good to firm) a fortnight ago; had just a neck to spare last time but he's just 3lb higher today and there can be optimism that this smooth-travelling 3yo still has more left in the tank.

J: Paddy Bradley

Progressive for new stable this season and bids to complete a hat-trick after 1m wins at Bath (good) and Lingfield (AW); his tendency to race too freely remains a nagging concern but he could plausibly have more improvement to come over this new trip; obvious contender.

Off the mark at the fifth attempt when dead-heating for a 1m handicap at Wetherby (good to firm; visored first time) eight days ago; a 6lb penalty asks more of her but she is on the up.

Seven races, best when beaten under a length in 1m handicaps here (firm/good) on last two occasions; not bred for 1m2f but has now been shaping as if worth a crack at it; also now tries headgear but he's one to consider.
