OR: 86

Form & Verdict
Record is 2-4 and he gained both wins at Epsom, latest in a nursery (7f, good; made all) two weeks ago; seems likely to handle the Goodwood gradients just as well and, with William Buick booked, this Johnston colt should make a bold bid to defy 6lb rise.

Scored at Newcastle (7f) in February and in good form since until a below-par fifth in 7f Musselburgh handicap nine days ago; he's the sort to bounce back but drawn wide here.

Form & Verdict
Progressive form figures (321) in 7f contests, bumping into a very good rival on second occasion; justified favouritism at Newcastle (AW) latest and, while he was all out with little to spare, may build on that success; open to further improvement now handicapping.

Below par at Newcastle last November when last seen (had won there in July); however, two starts ago he was second of five behind a fast-improving rival in a handicap at Goodwood (7f, good to soft), and he also ran well on soft ground on his debut; not ruled out if back on song.

Promise in his first two starts before getting off the mark with a game C&D success in July; solid second on his nursery debut at Goodwod last month; still has time to do better and returning to a stiffer track could help.

Form & Verdict
Justified favouritism at Windsor (6f, good to firm) on second start, beating Chartwell House by a neck; creditable fifth in Doncaster sales race (6.5f, good to soft) latest and that form has been well advertised since; looks likely to stay 7f and, judged on latest effort, opening mark of 87 looks very workable; respected.

Kept fairly busy in the last 12 months and he supplemented a 6f Windsor (good) win in September by scoring over 7f at Yarmouth (good to soft) in October and at Chelmsford (AW) in December; respectable efforts on both starts last month and Oisin Murphy takes over for the first time.

He has turned in a string of good efforts since winning at Windsor last September; close second off this mark at Newcastle on New Year's Day (6f); no obvious reason why he wouldn't make another bold bid.

Flurry of turf and Polytrack wins last autumn and winter included two at 7f; nearly got there in time dropped to 6f for his sole previous visit here in January, and this would be easier than that 0-105; shortlisted.

Form & Verdict
Took well to first-time hood in Epsom maiden (7f, good) in August, opening his account at the fourth attempt, but proved disappointing in same headgear at Chelmsford (AW) last time; switch to visor may suit and interestingly he's 3lb better off with Eminency on Windsor running in July; possibilities on nursery debut.

Form & Verdict
Has form figures of 1121489 since wearing a visor, so it started very well before tailing off (failed to beat a rival the last twice); with that in mind he could revive now switched to blinkers; however, having raced nine times in total, he looks more exposed than these rivals.
