Form & Verdict
Inclined to hang left a couple of times, including when well beaten on his turf debut/comeback in the spring; since undergone wind surgery and the market should give some clues as to what's been made of his opening mark.

Only blip since undergoing wind surgery came when pulling too hard over a stiff 1m; otherwise, there was nothing wrong with his latest C&D effort from the front, off the same mark, and he's shortlisted in a handicap lacking depth.

Six-race maiden but he did run well when runner-up at Ffos Las (7.5f, good) in June and didn't shape badly at Kempton (7f, AW; first-time cheekpieces and tongue-tie) six days ago; down in grade; considered.

Unfortunate not to go closer when second at Ffos Las (7.5f, good) off this mark in June but he hung for pressure when posting a lesser effort at Sandown four weeks ago; tongue-tie and cheekpieces might help and he had 7f AW form in novices; could bounce back.

Useful 2yo for Charles Hills who proved hard to place last year and tumbled down the weights; found his level again now, just cracking late over 1m last time, and won't mind the return to turf.

Runner-up in a classified event at Lingfield last month and built on that to win a Newcastle handicap by a neck three weeks ago; did it quite cosily and remains of interest off this 2lb higher mark.

Wins for Michael Dods came on soft (2yo debut) and good to soft, and he hung left both runs on good to firm; 4lb higher than his last winning mark and returns from ten months off, having been picked up for 1,000gns; hard to find many positives.

J: Edward Greatrex

Both wins have been on slow ground and latest was off this mark at Carlisle (7f) last July; hasn't made a serious impact in two runs for new yard this season, but he still has low mileage and any rain would boost his claims; not ruled out.

Both wins for Michael Dods were on ground softer than good; picked up for 1,000gns and ran quite well on his stable debut over C&D as he was quite fresh after a break; possibilities if building on that.

Hit traffic at Windsor (first-time cheekpieces) last month and built on that back down to 7f last time; been put up 3lb for it but this is less competitive and he's high on the shortlist.

J: Oisin Murphy

T: William Knight

Ten-race maiden but he's knocking at the door, short of room when second of six at Sandown (7f, good to firm) on most recent outing; Oisin Murphy is a positive booking and the first-time visor could be an extra boost; high on the list.

Inconsistent maiden who faded late on his first run at beyond 7f when behind Flyta at Windsor a fortnight ago; much will hinge on how he responds to first-time headgear down another 3lb.
