9st 1lb

J: Pierre-Louis Jamin

T: Harry Eustace

Won at Nottingham (1m2f, good) in April on second start and runner-up in novice there (1m2f, good to soft) in May when last seen; he's not obviously well treated off his opening mark but this 220,000gns yearling is bred to be suited by 1m4f and is open to further improvement; wears a first-time tongue-tie; one to watch in the betting.

8st 11lb

J: Pierre-Louis Jamin

T: Harry Eustace

Got tired in the final furlong when fourth of nine in an 8.3f maiden (soft) here in October, but it was still an encouraging start to his career; the longer trip should suit and this Irish Derby entrant is open to plenty of improvement this year.

Form & Verdict
Won good-ground bumper on debut then posted consistent efforts over hurdles until form dipped last time (handicap debut); nothing out of the ordinary and looks below the likely required standard on Flat debut.

Won a bumper last year and twice runner-up over hurdles; fair form this year in his two Flat starts, the latest in a 1m4f novice here after 107 days off; place chance, under Harry Vigors once more.

Won a bumper last year and subsequently showed some fair form over hurdles; made satisfactory start to Flat career when keeping-on fifth at Nottingham (1m2f, good to soft) in May and this longer trip ought to suit; not ruled out each-way.
