Extra furlong here should be within his range following a promising debut success over 6f here just under three weeks ago; however, the runner-up was a 50-1 chance, and he now faces two useful rivals with experience in good company.

Sent on early at Salisbury (7f, soft) and from thereon never saw another rival as he repelled the favourite by nearly 3l with the front two clear; posted a useful Topspeed figure and, with conditions no issue, he's a definite player; has since left Clive Cox at the sales for 180,000gns.

Has some good form to her name - hence a mark of 90 - but she was a beaten favourite in two races at Dundalk last backend (7f/1m) and should have run better; they tried blinkers last time and it remains to be seen whether she can tap back into her initial promise.
