Form & Verdict

Form & Verdict
0-6 as a juvenile but he's unbeaten in three 1m handicaps this year and he dug deep to deny a clear second over C&D last time; up another 4lb but he's on a roll and could continue on the upgrade; respected in his bid for a four-timer.

J: Hollie Doyle

T: Charlie Johnston

Having dropped in the weights he made an immediate impact on AW in February, recording a quick hat-trick in 1m handicaps at Newcastle, Lingfield and Wolverhampton; career-best effort when second in a 1m handicap at Newcastle last month but his form dipped at Wolverhampton 13 days ago; drawn widest and could prove vulnerable.

Appeared to lose his way after completing an AW hat-trick at the start of the year (including a win over C&D), but he bounced right back to form when beaten half a length into second of 13 at Newcastle (1m, Tapeta) last Saturday; off the same mark (due a 1lb rise) and major chance if repeating that effort; stable also runs Never Fear.

Form & Verdict
Landed the odds in a Lingfield novice (1m, Polytrack) in January but he was only third of four on his handicap debut there (1m2f) later that month; still unexposed and now drops back in trip but he needs to kick on again to make a big impact on this switch to Tapeta.

J: Sean D Bowen

T: James Owen

Career-best effort on the Flat when bagging a 1m4f course handicap (good) in May; found out off higher marks in the Copper Horse at Royal Ascot and Northumberland Plate at Newcastle the following month; in common with stablemate East India Rock, he's been given a three-month break ahead of this step up to Listed company; has something to find on form with a couple of these.

16/1

Form: 4203-1

Form & Verdict
Has mixed record in his seven starts but he returned after a break and gelding operation with a win at Southwell (1m maiden) 11 days ago; this is tougher off revised mark back in a handicap but he raised his form to a new level last time and his confidence should be boosted after that win; dangerous.
