Form & Verdict
Trainer is 12-58 with 2yos here and an impressive 8-23 with them on the AW this year; this 41,000gns colt enhanced both totals when winning on his C&D debut recently, despite starting slowly and swerving left late on; should progress.

J: Neil Callan

T: James Tate

Won C&D novices on first two starts and made it 3-3 in Lingfield Listed race (7f again) in March; his form has levelled off since but it is still early days and he should find this a little easier than the 6f Newcastle Group 3 he contested when last seen at the beginning of July.

Disappointed over 1m on penultimate start but otherwise it's been a solid campaign at 7f, including wins in May/June; acts on Polytrack; concern is that handicapper has caught up with her.

Raced prominently when both a C&D winner (good to soft) in a fillies' novice event in April and when adding another win on her handicap debut at Ayr (7f, good) next time, when 1lb higher; has not been able to get close to that form in four more starts, but off this mark she's not written off back here.
