Form & Verdict
Has plenty of stamina on the dam's side of his good pedigree and he made a low-key start over 6.5f at Newbury (good to soft) in June; should know more this time but plenty of progress is needed after a break and he could be a longer-term prospect.

46,000gns 2yo; no impact at a big price in 7f York maiden (good to firm) last month but that was in a useful race and he was beaten only 7l in the end; should be more streetwise this time and looks interesting if he can build on that debut effort.

£90,000 brother to Group-placed 6f-1m winner Flashcard (including 2yo; RPR 110); ran green when a weak 10-1 shot at Pontefract (6f, good to firm) last month but he finished well to seize the initiative in the closing stages; has a penalty for that narrow win but that was a good start and he has plenty of scope for progress on this step up in trip.

82,000gns yearling; didn't live up to market expectations at Windsor (6f, good to soft; 5-1) on his recent debut but he ran green after a slow start; beat just one rival in that race but he should know much more on this step up in trip and it wouldn't be a surprise if he left his initial form behind.

Respectable fourth over C&D (good) last month but followed that with a poor run at Doncaster and he effectively refused to race in blinkers (which are quickly discarded) at Beverley a fortnight ago; hard to know what to expect.

Consistency is an issue but he's on a good mark on this year's best, notably a close third at Thirsk in May; blinkers tried for the first time, which could be significant as the only other occasion he's worn headgear resulted in a Brighton win last summer (cheekpieces when trained by W Haggas).

Out of a half-sister to a Group-placed 7f/1m 2yo winner but he's been well held in both runs so far, most recently when 150-1 fifth at Haydock (6f, good to firm) last week; still very early days but he has plenty to find back up in trip and nurseries are an option after this.

Well-bred filly; went close at Windsor (5f, good to soft) on debut in April but she reared at the start when disappointing at Yarmouth eight days later and was withdrawn after getting upset in the stalls at Wolverhampton last month; looks interesting on her initial form but she comes with risks attached on this step up to 7f.
