0-8 for Tom Dascombe but he made good start for his new yard when making all at Newcastle (1m, Tapeta) 19 days ago; up 5lb but he has soft-ground winners on his dam's side and is open to more progress back at this trip; respected.

Placed twice over about 1m on turf since winning readily by 3l over C&D in April and has good claims if judged on those exploits but blotted his copybook when refusing to race at Chepstow in August.

Wins have all come in April but there was nothing wrong with his Doncaster second off 2lb lower a month ago, when clear with a subsequent winner; not always been the most consistent, though, and would have preferred some rain.

Two wins for Harriet Bethell in April last year, over 1m at Newcastle and over 7f on soft here (won by 4l); has changed yards twice since (bought for 2,000gns in October); won again at Wolverhampton in April (7f) but hasn't done quite as well since.

Form & Verdict
Five-race maiden but he returned after a gelding operation with an encouraging third on turf debut at Yarmouth (7f, good to firm) two weeks ago; needs to build on that but he's unexposed at this trip and his half-brother is a dual winner on soft ground; dangerous.

Failed to get home over 1m last time; justified favouritism over C&D (good to firm) earlier in August, taking his 7f record to 331, and the runner-up gives that form a solid look; respected back in this scenario.

Sole success came at Doncaster in June 2024 when trained by Chris Dwyer; had no joy in five starts for Archie Watson this year and subsequently sold for 1,000gns last month; headgear removed and made little impression when sixth of nine on stable debut here (7f, good) eight days ago; steps back in trip and best watched.
