Justified favouritism in a Lingfield maiden in June before scoring on handicap debut at Newbury (1m, good to firm) last month; held in third in hat-trick bid at Newmarket but that was a tactical race and was beaten less than 1l; looks interesting off same mark here and should have more to offer at this trip.

Hat-trick seeker who has very low mileage; the form of his Class 5 success at Newbury (1m, good to firm; handicap debut) last time has been franked by the runner-up since; upped in grade but receives weight all round and looks open to further progress; respected.

1m maiden winner on the AW; has run well in all four handicaps, the latest at Glorious Goodwood (1m, good to firm) where he had a wide trip but kept on to be only 3l off the winner; the first-time cheekpieces worn there are removed; respected.

Close third over C&D in June on second handicap start (good; Get Outta Here second) and filled the same position at Ascot (1m, good to firm) three weeks ago, albeit no match for the first two; he might have an each-way shout in first-time cheekpieces.

Struggled in three starts on turf this year but made it 2-2 on the AW when coming home nicely from off the pace over this C&D 16 days ago (hood was removed); only 2lb higher and he has the potential to rate higher on this surface.

Placed on his first four starts (including on soft) and got going too late in first-time cheekpieces (retained) when sixth of 19 to Exclusive Code on handicap debut at Glorious Goodwood (1m, good to firm); a stronger gallop today would help his cause and he's not discounted.

He's finished in the first three on all four starts and was stretched by 1m2f when turned over at odds-on last time; wears first-time cheekpieces on handicap debut and his stable won this in 2023; Ryan Moore rides and improvement is possible, but necessary if he's to defy his opening mark.

Heavy-ground 2yo maiden winner who came from a tough position to win valuable final here (7f, good) last October; hasn't kicked on this season but he returned to his best with close second of six at Newmarket last month (1m, good to firm; ran minus a plate); worth a second look given his course form.

J: Hector Crouch

Had some good 2yo form, as when winning both starts at about 7f, and this campaign has a somewhat luckless look to it so far, albeit slow starts aren't helping; his one start over 1m, in a valuable Carlisle handicap in May, was inconclusive regarding stamina but he remains of interest.

He's raced in four handicaps this year and has twice made the frame (7f/1m, good/good to firm); however, he was well beaten at Newmarket (7f, good to firm) three weeks ago and needs to bounce back with a career-best effort.

Placed on four occasions prior to his 7f handicap win at Salisbury in May; that form has worked out well enough to think this mark was in range and his disappointing run here 24 days ago can be excused (lost his position after some early scrimmaging); has to prove his stamina but he will be a danger to all if seeing out the mile.
