Form & Verdict
Impressive at Lingfield (6f, AW) last November on sole 2yo start and runner-up to very talented sprinter there (6f novice, good) in May; merely sixth on recent handicap debut at Chester (6f, good) but he's better than that and it will be no surprise if he's a force today; a tongue-tie goes on.

T: Oliver Cole

Disappointing when favourite at Windsor last time but he's still lightly raced and was an emphatic winner at Leicester (6f, good to firm) on his penultimate run; still looks feasibly treated on that form and has claims if he can bounce back.

Threatened to be useful on occasions even before he won a four-runner handicap at Leicester (6f, good to firm) eight days ago by nearly 5l when tongue tied first time; penalised 6lb in this more competitive race but has to be considered seriously.

Form & Verdict
Won Newbury maiden (6f, good to firm) in June on third start and made it 2-2 for the year in handicap at Newmarket (6f, good to firm) later that month; down the field at Newmarket (6f, good to firm) since but it was a difficult race in which to make inroads from the rear; retains potential.

Both wins came over 6f on good to firm in June but he's been below his best in three starts since the most recent success; the tongue-tie, worn last time, is now removed and drops to 5f with a visor added.

Won a Newbury maiden and followed up in a C&D handicap in June off 4lb lower; down the field at the July meeting and raced freely when no match for the winner in a small field at Leicester; remains open to improvement and a tongue-tie is added.

Promising at up to 1m for Ger Lyons as a 2yo; unplaced in his first two runs (7f/1m1f) for this yard but he turned in a career-best effort when second of 14 (behind a handicap blot; pair clear) over C&D four weeks ago; showed good speed on that occasion and he should make a bold bid from stall 1 despite a 4lb rise.
