Consistent in four starts since his debut in February, the win coming in a 1m2f novice here in March; probably unsuited by the lack of pace when third of nine at Leicester (1m4f, good to soft) a fortnight ago, but despite the small field there is a good chance this may be run at a better tempo; respected.

Beat the St Leger runner-up in a Newcastle 1m2f novice in March and returned from a lengthy break to push an unexposed Godolphin horse close at Newmarket (1m2f, good), which was probably a fine run given the penalty he carried; could easily be on a lucrative mark and this trip should benefit according to his pedigree.

9st 10lb

J: Kevin Stott

T: Kevin Ryan

Two wins at Redcar last spring represent his peak form for George Boughey; 0-6 elsewhere and has something to prove off current mark in this scenario on debut for Kevin Ryan; still with same owner.

Form & Verdict
Promoted to first in 1m4f handicap here (good to firm) last June and he races off 2lb lower today; however, he wasn't at his best last year on his final few runs for Edward Bethell, and failed to threaten over hurdles in the winter on his first two starts for this yard; may be best watched.

11st 2lb

J: Callum Bewley

T: Micky Hammond

Talented on the Flat and open to improvement on second hurdle start; however, he was about 14l behind Minstrel Knight when sixth at Wetherby (2m, soft) last month and may be of greater interest when back in headgear.
