Form & Verdict
17-race maiden but he's on a reduced mark and made some late headway on his stable/seasonal debut at Newmarket (1m, good to firm) two weeks ago; was only beaten around 4l in that race and he could be dangerous back up in trip and down in grade; cheekpieces reapplied.

Ran creditably, keeping on, last time when bidding for a Nottingham double (1m2f; maiden previously); remains in form and, as his dam's side confirms, looks worth another crack at 1m4f; respected.

Won twice on AW (1m2f/9.4f) in early part of this year and has made the frame five consecutive times (1m-1m2f) since returned to turf in the spring; holds no secrets from the handicapper and may be better suited by 1m2f but ought to give another good account.

Nine-race maiden who has run below market expectations in four starts this year and is evidently felt capable of better; again pulled hard when a beaten-favourite nine days ago (Tapeta) and much will hinge on how he responds to a first-time hood.

Dam was a miler and he's not bred for this sort of trip; performed below market expectations all four runs since handicapping and, while his trainer-jockey combination will draw some in, stamina is an obvious concern.
