Improved to make a successful nursery debut over C&D last month and has twice run well since, including when beaten less than a length into third of seven behind Primetime at Wolverhampton (8.6f, Tapeta) on Saturday; 6lb better off with his old rival and respected given he is proven under the conditions.

Form & Verdict
Held in first three starts over 5f/6f on turf, but having been gelded he showed more when beaten a neck on nursery debut at Lingfield (7f, good to firm) in July; form not really worked out, though, and further improvement needed up another furlong on AW debut.

Steadily progressive in three runs on turf, the latest when third at Redcar (6f, good to firm) 18 days ago; makes his nursery/AW debut, but his speedy pedigree raises doubts over the suitability of the extra 2f.

Two 6f AW wins for previous yard last winter but it hasn't been easy since winning for this one at Newmarket in August and, after getting closer at Wolverhampton last month, things never went his way from a wide draw at Southwell; needs more weight off his back.

Form & Verdict
Promising second of seven on his Wolverhampton debut (7f, Tapeta) in June, but not built on it since even though third of six behind a big improver at Newmarket (7f, good; first-time cheekpieces) last month; needs to improve for the switch to blinkers and extra furlong on nursery debut.

Placed in 7f events at Wolverhampton and Chepstow before running well beneath market expectations at Catterick; cheekpieces added on the back of that and should be a major player dropped to this level; should be fine over 6f.

Form & Verdict
Improved since stepped up in trip in nurseries; went down by a head at Wolverhampton (8.6f, Tapeta) four days earlier, but got the race in the stewards' room; open to further improvement, but his 6lb penalty means he may find it hard to conform the Wolverhampton form with third-placed American Tale.
