Form & Verdict
On the up for new stable this year, fourth at Windsor on his return in May before getting off the mark in a Class 6 at Windsor (5f, good to firm) 17 days ago; still looked to be learning his job on that occasion and a 5lb rise is unlikely to prove beyond him; apprentice rider Harry Vigors making a big name for himself; lots to like.

Progressive on turf in the summer, during a good spell for his yard, before finding it too much off his revised mark at Goodwood in first-time headgear (removed here); no surprise to see him bounce back on his AW debut.

J: Gina Mangan

Has come into his own in 5f handicaps for this yard, looking ahead of his mark when winning cosily at Newbury (good to firm) latest, despite hanging away from the whip; has a much stiffer task in this company but his dam won this race for the stable in 2020 when wearing first-time cheekpieces, as her son does today; just out of the weights but intriguing.

Form & Verdict
Shaped well on his stable debut at Lingfield (6f, AW) in February but hamstrung by slow starts on his next three starts; further blotted his copybook when refusing to race at Windsor in May; well backed back at Windsor (5f, good to firm) ten days ago and again not foot perfect leaving the stalls but he overcame some adversity (stumbled early and had to be switched in the straight) to win going away; little doubt he has the ability to defy his penalty but there are risks attached.

Twice a winner over C&D, including the corresponding event 12 months ago when rated 11lb higher; back to form when second at Windsor ten days ago, failing to hold the late thrust of Just Jump; his supporters should get a run for their money but he could just prove vulnerable late on.
