Record of 3-10 includes wins in handicaps at Newmarket (1m2f) and Ascot (1m4f Shergar Cup Classic) this season; good third at latter track latest start; useful but takes on promising/progressive rivals.

J: Pat Dobbs

T: Marco Botti

An improver this season, with his only blip coming on heavy ground in the Italian Derby; got messed about when fourth of six in a 1m2f handicap at Newmarket in July and resumed his progress when readily coming clear in Shergar Cup event over C&D four weeks ago; 7lb higher mark to contend with but he looked worth it last time; considered.

T: Marco Botti

Improved form over 1m2f at the other Newmarket track on his first two starts this season, winning a handicap (on good) and third of five in a Listed race (good to firm); the Derby Italiano on heavy ground last time did not work out but he returns to a handicap on what looks a pretty good mark.

J: Tom Marquand

T: Marco Botti

Ex-Ballydoyle colt who got off the mark in first-time cheekpieces (retained since) on his stable debut in a Wolverhampton novice (9.4f, AW) in December and followed up over this C&D (good) 16 days ago on his first handicap start; could continue to progress but does need another step forward today.
