Form & Verdict
Off the mark at the fifth attempt in fairly valuable Sandown maiden (1m2f, good; first-time cheekpieces) in June and it was an improved effort when nutted on the line on his handicap debut at Newbury (1m3f, good to firm; front pair well clear) the following month; similar form in a French Listed race (1m4f) three weeks ago and this revised mark will demand a wee bit extra.

Didn't look straightforward when the race got serious on last two outings but he was nevertheless better at keeping a straight line when cheekpieces were enlisted for six-runner maiden at Sandown (1m2f, good) last time and stuck his neck out well to win by 1l; some improvement is probably needed going handicapping but he has to be considered seriously in this small field.

Comes with some risk having looked far from straightforward under pressure at Newmarket last time, albeit was perhaps partly unsuited by the track and either way may be aided by first-time headgear today; has shown consistent promise otherwise and holds particularly strong claims on penultimate effort, namely third in above-average maiden at Newbury (1m2f, good) that has worked out well.

An improver this season, with his only blip coming on heavy ground in the Italian Derby; got messed about when fourth of six in a 1m2f handicap at Newmarket in July and resumed his progress when readily coming clear in Shergar Cup event over C&D four weeks ago; 7lb higher mark to contend with but he looked worth it last time; considered.

Form & Verdict
Consistent form in three novices and a maiden this term, finishing runner-up on all four starts (1m to 1m3f) on a variety of ground; doesn't look to be doing too much wrong in a finish but no surprise to see connections give cheekpieces a whirl; would be a fine effort to break his duck in this company on his handicap debut.

90,000gns half-brother to a 1m3f winner in Germany; well held in sole 2yo run but he's been knocking on the door in novice events at York (1m, good) and Thirsk (1m, good to firm) this season; sets a clear standard on that form and he's open to more progress at this new trip; strong contender.

Form & Verdict
Gained reward for a host of consistent efforts when bagging Lingfield novice (good) in June; subsequently been getting the hang of handicaps and he made the breakthrough in that sphere with a commanding win at Windsor (also 11.5f, good to firm; second run in cheekpieces) last Monday; 7lb rise could have been worse and he's not one to take lightly despite the rise in grade.
