Form & Verdict
17-2 and looked the stable second-string for last month's Pontefract debut (1m2f, soft), but he finished ahead of his stablemate in second of the seven runners (third has won since); likely to improve from that and he's a contender.

8st 13lb

J: Ryan Moore

T: Sir Michael Stoute

Made debut in April; won novices at Nottingham (1m2f, heavy) in May and Doncaster (1m4f, good to firm) in June; well-backed favourite for handicap at Royal Ascot (1m4f, good) and did well to finish fifth of 19 considering how close he raced to the strong pace, leading 2f out to 1f out; probably fine back at 1m2f and should go very well.

J: Richard Kingscote

T: Sir Michael Stoute

Made debut in April; better the further he went in his 1m2f win on heavy at Nottingham on second start and there was lots to like about the way he travelled and knuckled down to deal with Inquiring Minds at Doncaster (1m4f, good to firm) in another novice three weeks ago; promising handicap debutant.

Form & Verdict
Well-bred colt who despite showing signs of greenness could hardly have been more impressive when making a winning debut at Yarmouth (1m2f, soft; 9-1) last month; has a 5lb penalty to carry, but he looks a nice prospect and should take the beating under likely similar conditions.

J: Sean Bowen

T: Olly Murphy

On a hat-trick after justifying favouritism at Market Rasen and Ffos Las (both 2m); a combined rise of 16lb - 8lb for latest win - makes life more challenging as he moves into a Class 3 for the first time; however, he's improving and spearheads his yard's triple representation in this field.

Rewarded strong market support when winning readily at Market Rasen (2m, good to soft) last month, on his second run after a layoff, and is now 2-8 over hurdles; 8lb higher here but still commands respect.

350,000euros yearling who showed promise when fourth of 12 on his Doncaster debut (1m2f, heavy) last month, but was beaten a very long way at odds-on when second of three at Leicester (1m4f, heavy) 13 days later; these conditions may not be quite so testing, but he does have a bit to prove.
