Form & Verdict
Only beaten about 15l when a big-priced outsider in the Derby for Stan Moore and was nicely clear of the third when close second in Chester maiden (12.3f, good) on last month's stable debut; sets a useful standard and ought to open his account here.

Form & Verdict
Not disgraced on first two starts, latterly when sixth of nine (beaten about 15l) in very strong Newmarket novice (1m2f, good) in April; can improve if the first-time hood helps him to settle better here but a couple of the others appeal more all the same; gelded in June.

Dark Island

10st 2lb

J: Kieran O’Neill

T: Heather Main

Front-runner; pipped on the post - his third solid run in a row - at Sandown (1m6f Class 3, good) on penultimate start; did too much to soon back on the AW at Wolverhampton next time and, even over this shorter trip, those forcing tactics are tough to deploy at Newcastle; near career-best required.

J: Gina Mangan

T: Heather Main

Front-runner; just one win to his name but he's been banging at the door of late, missing out by a nose at Sandown (1m6f, good) 18 days ago; this doesn't look overloaded with pace and his rivals would be wise not to give him too much rope.
