Form & Verdict
Midfield, beaten about 10l, at Newbury (7f) where he was prominent in the betting; looks the type to improve plenty on that debut form, being a Cracksman colt who cost 200,000gns as a yearling and holds a Derby entry; respected in this weaker-looking event.

Mostly creditable efforts in defeat this season, including second of nine at Windsor (11.5f, good to firm) last month; below-par sixth in this race on heavy ground last year; William Buick up but others arrive with more pressing claims.

Absent since his disappointing effort over 7f at Leicester two months ago (not beaten completely by the trip); otherwise runner-up twice over 6f, including a solid effort behind useful rival (subsequent Group 3 scorer) at Glorious Goodwood; sets a clear standard on that form.

Took advantage of a lowly mark at Southwell in December and he has flourished since, adding two more AW wins over the winter and going in again at Salisbury (6f, soft) last month; second in two fast-ground handicaps since; should remain competitive but this test will be sharp enough.

Won when cheekpieces were first fitted and again when they were reapplied early in the year, so it's a plus point that they are back on today; not shown much since leaving Ian Williams but soft ground was no good to him last time and he'll be happier back on the AW.
