Form & Verdict
Improved with each of his three starts, most recently picked off by Fighter's Spirit in the dying strides at Beverley 18 days ago (1m2f, good); 7lb better off today for half a length but he isn't guaranteed to turn the tables on his less-exposed rival.

Beaten four times and more consistent than progressive; however, he's got the best form of these and looks sure to have a major say.

J: P J McDonald

T: Andrew Balding

Seemed in need of the experience and/or found 1m on the sharp side in sole 2yo start; fared better with third-place finish upped to 1m2f at Bath (good) on reappearance and is bred to do better still, being related to a few winners for his yard; respected.

Form & Verdict
Not seen to best effect in a 7f Kempton maiden nine months ago but shaped with clear promise; gelded since; longer trip should be in his favour but he will need to improve to take this; stable also run Cape Fear.

Has shown ability, albeit without threatening, on his two starts (7f/1m2f, AW/good to firm); improvement is necessary today but he's in good hands and may be able to take a step forward at some point; not discounted.
