In fine form over 5f and although he paid a high handicapping price for a wide-margin Redcar win in June, he so nearly overcame the 8lb rise at York next time against Naana's Shadow; had more to do at Ascot (good to firm) after but produced another sterling effort in a close sixth of 15; solid claims back against his own age group.

Won twice at Chester as a 2yo; on the up this season, running well from a poor draw at Chester (6f, good) on his reappearance before winning at Hamilton (6f, good to firm) three weeks later; took his form to a new level when beating older horses at Chester (5f, good to soft) and the manner of that success offered hope of further progress; 1lb wrong under his penalty but horses arriving on the back of a recent win have fared well in this race (Latin Lover won, Dream Composer and Radio Goo Goo both placed) and Toby Moore takes off 7lb; central draw perhaps not ideal but plenty to like otherwise.

Verdict

The filly NAANA’S SHADOW continues to get better and better and can defy the handicapper once more to post her fifth win of the season. Handicap newcomer Zain Primus is an intriguing contender for the in-form John Butler and he is feared most ahead of Dolos Dream, who showed bundles of speed when going close over 5.4f here last time. Underwriter was an eye-catching fourth at Ascot on his latest start, while Old Is Gold could benefit from the headgear and it’s likely that Poatan has unfinished business.[Ben Hutton]
