J: Hector Crouch

T: Ed Dunlop

Won twice on slow ground in the autumn of 2024; in and out in his three runs this year but his Leicester fourth last month (7f, good) brings him into the reckoning; a visor is now tried (ran well in one attempt in cheekpieces); further rainfall would aid his chance.

Campaigned mostly on turf and over 7f, winning twice (as a 2yo); latest effort was better than reappearance and suggested this return to 1m is worth exploring; could go well, provided he's as effective back on AW.

Improved for last month's debut outing at Windsor (6f, good to firm) when staying on for fourth at Lingfield (5f, AW) a fortnight ago; this half-brother to 1m 2yo Group 2 (yielding to soft) winner Deepone could appreciate today's step up in trip and he's a possible player.

Progressive 3yo who landed a good prize for Jay Mackay over C&D (good) in June and was also on target at Doncaster (7f, good to firm) last month; makes obvious appeal from the inside stall.

Progressive gelding who has form figures of 2212 this summer and that latest second was a close call from a tough draw at Chester (7.6f, good); usually races prominently and he's a big player off only 1lb higher on this drop back in trip.
