Just 1-18 on the Flat but showed fair form when placed twice over 1m2f this spring; should have a future over hurdles but he made a low-key start in this sphere over C&D (good; 20-1) last month; stablemate of Chemistry.

J: Brian Hughes

T: Ollie Pears

Two-time Flat winner, most recently at Southwell (AW, 1m3f) in April; made a modest start over hurdles when a distant third of five at Hexham (2m; turf debut) just over two weeks ago, but the good to soft ground may not have suited; could improve on that returned to a quicker surface.

2-6 for this yard but both wins were at 1m4f at Class 6 level; looks worth taking on, for all that his last race on the AW didn't go entirely to plan.

Kept on for neck second on nursery debut at Thirsk (1m, good) last September; soundly beaten at Beverley (8.4f, soft) 11 days later and he's unproven on slow ground, but he reappears having been gelded and remains one to be interested in given the Thirsk effort.

Far from straightforward, often pulling hard and again edging left under pressure over C&D last time; that effort proved this trip within range, though, and he's clearly happier on Tapeta than turf.

Made the frame on his first three runs here (at up to 9.5f) this season but a below-par fifth back on turf in 1m2f Doncaster handicap 39 days ago; not out of things back here if his stamina holds out.
