Form & Verdict
Left his first five runs miles behind when bolting up under Taylor Fisher in Windsor nursery (6f, good to firm) last Monday, when his trainer reported he benefited from the drop back to 6f and the application of a red hood in the preliminaries; tough to beat under 6lb penalty if repeating that form.

J: Rob Hornby

T: Richard Spencer

Prominent racer who won three 6f nurseries on fast ground last season; chance on this season's best too but he failed to fire on turf at Lingfield last time (blinkered for the first time and now tried in a visor); should have the pace to cope with this return to 5f.

Has got better with each of his three runs, most recently third of 13 at Beverley (5f, good to firm); could do with settling better and further improvement is needed on nursery debut, but he's in good hands to progress.
