J: Tom Marquand

Has finished first past the post in two of his four starts, all on turf, since handicapping; justified favouritism in small field at Thirsk (1m4f) latest; major contender with further progress plausible.

J: Kieran Shoemark

T: Ed Walker

A very different proposition when upped to 1m4f at Goodwood (good; unraced on firmer) three weeks ago in his second handicap, coming from off the pace and passing the post in front by a short head but demoted for interference (edged left); up 3lb but may well have more to give, including at new trip.

2-7 when readily taking heavy-ground Ayr novice (1m) in October; put a slow start to this term behind him when second of four at Thirsk (1m4f, good; had been gelded) four weeks ago; that could be a run to build on and he's of interest.

Sent off 2-7 when slamming three rivals by upwards of 5l in an Ayr novice (1m, heavy) last October, but well held in two York handicaps (1m4f/1m2f) last month (behind Stoneacre Donny on both occasions); needs more.

Five-race maiden who has two standout pieces of form, including creditable effort with cheekpieces fitted at Doncaster (1m4f) last time; could go well in the retained headgear.

J: Cieren Fallon

Recent step up to 1m4f and fitting of cheekpieces has returned him to the level of his peak 2yo effort, and still had running left at the end of a slightly better Thirsk Class 5 than this last time; chance.

Failed to beat a rival in three of his four runs including when last of six on handicap debut at Nottingham (1m2f, good; first run since gelded) last month; still early days but he needs a transformation on this step up to 1m4f; cheekpieces added.

Scored at Newcastle (1m4f) in March but largely below form since, last of four in 1m4f handicap at Thirsk ten days ago; this course winner needs to take a step forward in refitted blinkers.
