Form & Verdict
Useful middle-distance pedigree; went close on Lingfield AW debut before ultimately landing short odds with a bit to spare at Epsom (8.5f); his bare form is nothing to get too excited about but there's surely more to come.

Can front-run; completed a double over C&D last autumn; has come up short in his five starts since (three here) and was a notch below his best on last three occasions, but no fitness concerns and he's 1lb below his last winning mark.

Overall strike-rate of 6-20 and a four-time winner on the AW; finished behind Cello last time despite having the run of things but he's likeably reliable and should give backers a run for their money.

Form & Verdict
Justified favouritism at Catterick (7f, good to firm) on his debut in July; similar form when placed in 1m novices on next two starts (Tapeta latterly) and it might be worth putting a line through his latest run in a valuable 7f conditions event at York; likely to be very competitive.

Half-brother to very useful sprinter Green Power; has shown a bit in two outings (6f/7.5f) in recent months but will need to improve to get heavily involved and the extra 1f here isn't sure to suit.
