J: Robert Havlin

Won at Wolverhampton (8.6f, AW) in July on his third start and solid second in Sandown handicap (1m, soft) next time; again ran well when third at Yarmouth (1m2f, good to soft) two weeks ago on his first outing since being gelded, when coming from further back than the front two; retains potential.

Progressive; followed up his easy 8.5f Wolverhampton novice win with a second on his handicap debut at Sandown (1m) 48 days ago; gelded since and very much one to be interested in now stepping up in trip.

9st 7lb

J: Robert Havlin

T: John & Thady Gosden

Hooded both starts, finishing fourth of 12 on his Kempton debut (7f, Polytrack) last month and third of six at Newmarket (1m, good) 17 days later (fourth has won since); the slightly stiffer test should suit on breeding and he looks the one to beat, especially given his sire's 26% strike-rate here in the past five seasons.

J: Robert Havlin

T: John & Thady Gosden

32,000gns half-brother to 11.6f winner Valsad (RPR 93); never involved at Kempton (7f, AW; 7-1) on his recent debut but he made some late headway into a 5l fourth of 12; that was eyecatching and he looks a likely improver on this step up in trip; in the mix.
