Form & Verdict
Rank outsider and finished last of four on Ayr debut (6f, good) 15 days ago but he looked to have ability and stuck well enough to the task to expect him to be suited by this greater stamina test; should go well for yard that's had some good results with 2yos this year.

Seemed to be going places when making all at Beverley (7.4f, good to soft) in June, but he refused to enter the stalls on his next intended outing, finished last at Doncaster 19 days later, and has now been gelded; needs to get back on track.

Fair form when last of four on debut at Ayr (6f, good) and built on that to make all at Beverley (7.4f, good to soft) last month; takes on some interesting rivals here under his penalty but had about 2l to spare last time and he's respected; refused to enter the stalls at Beverley early this month.

Hit hard by the handicapper after winning at Haydock (1m, good to firm) last May; ran well fresh when third at Kempton (1m, Class 4) in October but held in better quality races since, including at Newmarket 18 days ago; moves beyond a mile for the first time.
