Useful 2yo (Listed winner) and ran some fair races in the face of stiff tasks as a 3yo; gelded during his 217-day absence; makes his handicap/stable debut and still brings relatively low mileage.

Listed win at two; showed he's trained on when fourth to Field Of Gold in the Craven at Newmarket (1m, good) on reappearance; understandable he couldn't get involved in the 2,000 Guineas next time but a subsequent no-show in the Jersey at Royal Ascot is harder to forgive.

Fine fourth to Field Of Gold in the Craven at Newmarket (1m, good) but came up well short in the 2,000 Guineas (66-1); back down in grade today but could still be vulnerable and David Egan prefers California Dreamer.

T: Ralph Beckett

Wide-margin winner of a valuable sales race at the Curragh as a 2yo; hard to find the right race in a handful of starts since but he ran two fair races on the AW at the start of the year and this stiff 6f should be more up his street; can figure.

Useful 2yo; not at his best in two runs this winter but he has dropped 4lb and last time isn't the run to judge him on (too keen in a race not run to suit); not solid but too soon to write him off.

Sole success came at Chelmsford AW in August 2024 and missed all of last year; showed he was on the way back when runner-up to an improver at Wolverhampton (5f) last month; steps up in trip and should run well.

Lightly raced gelding whose sole win came at Chelmsford (5f, Polytrack; first-time tongue-tie) in August 2024; was entitled to need the run after 19 months off at Newcastle (5f, Tapeta) three weeks ago and a hood is now given a go, but others looks more solid.

J: Daniel Muscutt

T: James Fanshawe

Made a winning start to his AW career in a 5f Chelmsford nursery in August 2024 and shaped well when pitched into a Group 3 over 6f at Kempton just a week later, impressing with his headway into contention before his effort flattened out (raced keenly); not seen since but retains plenty of potential as a sprint handicapper, for all it would be understandable were this outing to be needed; the betting should provide more clues in that regard.

Solid record over 6f features a couple of AW wins; ran creditably at Chester on the return to turf but seemed to be outstayed over 7f at Goodwood (good) since; may need a drop back in distance.

Goes well at Newmarket; third to Double Rush at last season's Craven meeting (2lb better off today) before an impressive win in the 3yo handicap on this card; another promising run on his reappearance 17 days ago when finishing third, just over 5l behind Double Rush; has bigger days ahead of him but he may be battling for another minor placing.
