Form & Verdict
Form figures of 431 reflect his steady progress at novice level, holding on narrowly at Haydock (1m, good) most recently; should be as effective back at 7f and warrants respect on handicap debut.

Sole win came in a 1m novice as a 2yo and although he's run some good races on downhill tracks this year, including over C&D (good; acts on soft), he isn't obviously ahead of his mark; should be thereabouts even so.

Sole win was in a Haydock novice two years ago; plenty of good runs for new yard this season but he was disappointing at Windsor on Saturday and needs to bounce back on this quick turnaround.

Form & Verdict
Big-priced win at Newbury has proved no fluke and he doubled his tally in a Sandown nursery (7f, good) last time; record is now 2-4 and he looks open to further improvement; shortlisted.

Last run: 54 days

W: 9st 7lb

2 yo Colt

Form & Verdict
Has been pitched into some notable races since his maiden win and this represents a drop back in class; however, looks more exposed than most of these rivals and goes beyond 6f for the first time.

Has run well to be placed in his last three starts since stepped up to 1m; inside draw is a positive for one who likes to be up there, but he has been edging up the weights for not winning and the return to 7f is not sure to be a plus; stable won this in 2016 and 2019.
