Form & Verdict
Fine family; no great improvement this term for his maiden win at Kempton (1m, AW) on return, making all as 6-4 favourite, before a respectable show when fifth of eight on handicap debut at Haydock (1m, good to firm; joint favourite) later in April; gelded since and needs overall improvement.

Both wins were AW; twice runner-up since not getting the breaks at Glorious Goodwood, only just missing out on the July course here (1m; second run in cheekpieces) and similar form at Kempton (1m; new blinkers); annoyingly raised a total of 3lb for those defeats and he's finding a way to get beaten.

J: Robert Havlin

T: John & Thady Gosden

Both wins have been on the AW, including a maiden success over C&D in April, but he was only narrowly denied in second-time cheekpieces at Newmarket (1m, good to firm) last month; they're now swapped for blinkers and he has to be considered dropping back down in grade.

Has built up a stronger record on AW than on turf and may be more interesting when back in that sphere; behind Runswick when fitted with cheekpieces at Glorious Goodwood last time; headgear retained.

Form & Verdict
Ran poorly at Kempton last August in his only AW race; resumed progress with his turf form on latest outing, winning a 12-runner handicap at Sandown (1m2f, good) five weeks ago when 40-1 in first-time blinkers; up 4lb but that was a warm race and he'll go well if this surface proves no impediment.

Won heavy-ground nursery here last September and won at 40-1 in first-time blinkers (retained since) at Sandown (1m2f, good) in June; scuppered by a slow start at Kempton (1m, AW) a fortnight ago and could have a big part to play if breaking on terms.

Caused a 40-1 surprise when winning in first-time blinkers at Sandown (1m2f, good) in June and backed that up when caught on the post at Wolverhampton (8.5f, AW); well drawn and there's no obvious reason why he can't go well.
