Form & Verdict
In cheekpieces the last twice; pushed the long odds-on favourite close on his handicap debut (1m2f, good to firm) and then won as he liked at Wolverhampton on Tuesday (8.6f); looks well in with the penalty and this 295,000gns yearling could easily rate much higher.

Much improved gelding who won recent handicaps at Wolverhampton (8.6f, AW) and Brighton (1m, good to firm) with quite a bit left in the tank; has a 12lb penalty to shoulder but still commands respect.

Made a long odds-on favourite work for it, despite having raced freely in a small field, on his handicap debut (1m2f; first-time cheekpieces) three weeks ago; this 295,000gns yearling remains open to improvement and is high on the shortlist.

3lb higher than when winning this race last year, but is off the same mark as when following up at Salisbury (1m, good to soft) next time; looked unlucky not to go even closer when third of eight at Epsom (8.5f, good to firm) 15 days ago and is respected.

Returned to form with second in amateur riders' race at Brighton (1m, good to firm) last month and is still on a good mark but has become far too inconsistent to rely upon, and his habit of starting slowly is another worry.

Form & Verdict
Strike-rate of 2-46, with the wins in Ireland during the autumn of 2023; not beaten far in his last two completed starts in 1m2f/1m3f handicaps; back at 1m here, he looks very vulnerable to this week's two winners.

Both wins came under a 7lb claimer in Ireland and it wasn't a bad effort under Ruby Criscuolo when beaten a shade over 2l at Southwell (1m3f, AW) in May; moderate fourth at Pontefract on Monday, however, which took his record to 0-15 for this yard.

J: Harry Vigors

T: Charles Hills

Fast-ground specialist who completed a hat-trick around this time last year and was back off his last winning mark when making all over C&D (good to firm; first-time cheekpieces) eight days ago; 2lb wrong under a 5lb penalty, but still respected now that he is back in the groove.

Well placed to rattle off a fast-ground hat-trick last summer (7f/1m); this campaign has been harder work but he fared a bit better last time, is down to a winning mark and now wears cheekpieces for the first time; not solid, but a revival wouldn't be a complete bolt from the blue.

Four-time winner for Ed Dunlop and he made it 2-3 for current yard when landing novice amateurs' race at Catterick (1m4f, good to firm) two weeks ago; up another 2lb but remains well treated on his old form, and four of his wins have come over this trip; leading contender.
