Form & Verdict
Beaten around 9l in his first two runs but, after being gelded, he found plenty of progress when runner-up at Salisbury (6f, good to firm; 66-1) two weeks ago; needs to build on that but this step up in trip looks a good move on pedigree and he's not ruled out on nursery debut.

Sole win came as a 2yo last August but he's been runner-up from off the pace on varied ground in three of his last five starts, over this sort of trip on last two occasions; each-way contender again.

No match for the progressive Bosphorus Rose at Catterick latest (soft), but didn't fail for stamina on that second 1m4f outing; new career-low mark despite that above-par run, and return to sounder turf is fine.

J: Jason Hart

T: Tom Dascombe

Held up this season; second at Chester (1m2f) in May is easily the best of his five runs this season and he was tailed off at Epsom latest on first attempt at 1m4f; visored last four starts and tongue tied latest, but cheekpieces (tried once as 2yo, below form) return; unraced on softer than good.

Form & Verdict
Runner-up in a Newbury novice (6f, good to firm) last month but he's not gone on from that and was out the back on his nursery debut at Goodwood (7f, good to firm) last week; takes a big drop back in grade but he has something to prove and this is competitive.

Still a maiden but he has performed encouragingly in two runs, albeit both on Lingfield AW in December, since having wind surgery; returns to turf for this reappearance.

Still a maiden after 15 starts but he's well treated on his peak form and was best of the rest behind Harryella over C&D 13 days off; has a big swing in the weights with his old rival and could be dangerous if he can back that up.

Form & Verdict
Made a low-key start at Windsor in June but he scored at 28-1 at Yarmouth next time before following up with another comfortable win in a Windsor nursery (again 6f on good to firm) last month; up 6lb but he's been strong at the finish in those last two runs and is open to more progress on this step up to 7f; key player.

Down the field in his three qualifying runs and he was beaten 7l in Chester novice (6f, good) when last seen in June; in good hands and still early days but he needs improvement at this new trip on nursery debut.

Four wins this year and he has found another burst of improvement for the addition of cheekpieces, winning 1m handicaps at Pontefract and Musselburgh either side of a C&D second (behind Arctician); another 3lb higher but should make a bold bid.
