Didn't fire on Tapeta three weeks ago but began this campaign with three respectable runs and is now only 3lb higher than when winning easily by nearly 5l over C&D (good) last summer; dangerous to ignore.

Second in this last year (good to soft) and won over C&D (good to firm) in July; runner-up over C&D two starts ago and not helped by a slow start when fifth over C&D last time; first-time blinkers replace cheekpieces; capable of playing a leading role.

His five starts over C&D have yielded two wins and two runner-up spots, once behind Musical Angel last September and latterly when chasing home Dapper Guest ten days ago; wasn't done too many favours by the winner last time and has a good chance of gaining his revenge on revised terms.

Close third on stable debut at Yarmouth (7f, good to firm; first-time cheekpieces) in May and didn't run badly when close eighth of ten (just behind Potomac River) in stronger race than this at Newmarket (7f, good) three weeks ago; no surprise if he features.

7f AW win for Denis Quinn last season; running well for his new trainer too, most recently finishing a neck second at Epsom (good to firm) last week; runs off the same mark (1lb well in) and he is respected, for all his stamina for 1m has to be conclusively proven.

Became his new trainer's first runner, having been picked up from Denis Quinn for 17,000gns, when faring well in first-time cheekpieces (retained) at Yarmouth three weeks ago (Dapper Guest behind); generally consistent and won't mind the stiffer 7f.

Form & Verdict
Has modest 1-17 strike-rate but he's pretty consistent and his win was gained over C&D on good to firm ground (just under a year ago); finished well for second at Leicester (6f, good) last month and this step back up in trip is an obvious move; high on the list.

Sole success came in a Lingfield maiden (1m, AW) for George Boughey last September; went off the boil on turf for Stuart Williams this summer; still below form on debut for new yard 16 days ago but that performance gave encouragement for this new, longer trip; 10lb below his peak mark and not dismissed.
