Six-race maiden; faded into sixth of nine on seasonal debut at Lingfield (1m2f, good) three weeks ago but significant positives can be drawn from that outing and he might come on for the run; tries a new trip.

J: Paddy Bradley

T: Charlie Fellowes

Eight-race maiden; second of five in tactical race at Epsom last month and didn't run badly when third of five at Doncaster (also 1m4f, good to firm) nine days later, despite racing too freely, but others in this line-up have more pressing claims.

Stumbled soon after the start and did not get competitive when upped to 11.4f for handicap debut at Windsor (good to firm) in May but was made favourite for that race and probably still has potential.

First success when making all to beat the reopposing Sibling Rivelry by 0.5l over C&D (good to firm) three weeks ago; only 2lb higher and doesn't face much obvious competition for the lead.

Five-race maiden but she was beaten less than 2l when third of five in an Epsom handicap (1m4f, good to firm) three weeks ago; was allowed to set a slow pace but she still has potential and could make a serious impact if she can build on that last run.

A maiden after nine starts but close second three consecutive times (1m2f-11.5f) since upped to middle-distance trips in April; proven on fast ground and seems very likely to be in the shake-up again.

Ten-race maiden but he's finished runner-up in three of his five runs this season and wasn't beaten far when fourth of five at Epsom (1m4f, good to firm) last time; looks worth a try at this new trip and he's in the mix back on AW.

Gradually getting there, beaten under a length here (1m2f, good) in April and going down by a short head in a 14-runner event at Windsor (11.4f, good to firm) last month, finishing nicely clear of the rest; up 4lb, but still looks the one to beat.

Form & Verdict
Left inauspicious seasonal/handicap debut (1m2f) behind when very close second (subsequently awarded race) at Goodwood (1m4f, good) last month, reportedly benefiting from combination of step up in trip and first-time hood; could easily have more improvement to come.

Failed to progress from his debut in novice/maiden company last year (all over 1m) and he never featured on his handicap debut/reappearance at Salisbury (1m2f, good; first start since being gelded) 27 days ago; better is needed now stepping up in trip with a hood applied.

Only beat two rivals home in his three novice/maiden runs as a 2yo (all 1m); gelded since last seen; surprising if this stoutly-bred 3yo couldn't leave those efforts well behind now his stamina is being more fully tested.
