Seventh to Arc Ole Ole when 2-1 favourite on handicap debut at York in May; made favourite again, however, in six-runner race here (again 1m4f on good) 15 days ago and always close up to win by a neck, finding plenty for sustained pressure; up 3lb but it looks as if 1m6f will suit him well.

0-5, clear best effort when second of 12 on handicap debut at Windsor (1m, good to firm) on penultimate outing; brother to a fairly useful 1m4f winner for the same connections, so today's extra 4f is interesting.

Given every chance when going down narrowly in a 1m4f Newmarket handicap 20 days ago; that form entitles him to a second look here (in new cheekpieces) but he is 0-6 and others should have greater potential.

J: Oisin Murphy

T: Ismail Mohammed

Made a big move at halfway but stuck to his task when second of 12 at Windsor (1m, good to firm; winner was completing a four-timer) 17 days ago; that was his handicap debut and first go at 1m so plenty of optimism he can progress again with Oisin Murphy taking over.

Form & Verdict
Third at Nottingham (1m, soft) on second start last October and not discredited when 25-1 in a novice won under Sorin Moldoveanu by a much shorter-priced stablemate at Southwell (1m4f, AW) on April reappearance; 575,000gns yearling whose dam was useful over 1m4f+, so all in all he needs a close look on handicap debut.

Best effort when third on 1m4f Newmarket handicap debut (good) 12 days ago, staying on in a style which suggests there could be more to come as his stamina is drawn out.

Showed promise in a couple of maidens (around 1m) last October; steps up in trip on AW debut but may be a longer-term project; Birgham Dub looks the trainer's main hope.

Form & Verdict
Improved form with blinkers added (they've been kept since) when second of 12 in handicap at Salisbury (1m2f, good) in May; fair front-running effort 13 days later; dam 1m4f winner and it's possible he will find extra over this new trip, but it is needed.

Best effort for Brian Meehan came over 1m2f (managed second) and was last seen stretching out to 1m4f; changed hands for 14,000gns this month; this won't take much winning and a positive market move would look significant; goes without headgear.

Showed improved form in first-time blinkers when a good second at Salisbury (1m2f, good) in May and he's posted two respectable efforts since, albeit he didn't look to relish this the step up to this trip at Newmarket two weeks ago; first-time cheekpieces replace blinkers.
