J: Neil Callan

T: James Tate

Won C&D novices on first two starts and made it 3-3 in Lingfield Listed race (7f again) in March; his form has levelled off since but it is still early days and he should find this a little easier than the 6f Newcastle Group 3 he contested when last seen at the beginning of July.

150,000gns son of Kingman; ran green when a weak 4-1 shot at Wolverhampton (7f, AW) three weeks ago but he made some good late headway into a 3l third of six; sets the standard on that eyecatching effort and he should improve for the experience; big player.

He has done well since dropped to sprint trips, winning two 6f handicaps on AW (one C&D) in January; career best when second over C&D in May and he ran another good race when second in the Gosforth Park Cup eight weeks ago; 1lb lower today and no obvious reason why he wouldn't go well again.

Won twice over 6f on the AW in January, the latest of those off 9lb lower here; has run well the last twice, including when second of 14 back here (6f) last month, but this is a tough race in which to have his first go at 5f.

Form & Verdict
Brother to very useful winner Laurel (1m, including AW; RPR 114), half-brother to five winners; lost a shoe and didn't live up to market expectations when 7-4 favourite at Sandown (7f, soft) last month, but he made some promising late headway into fifth of ten; should know much more this time and he's a likely improver for yard with 27% record with 2yos here in recent years; withdrawn at Newmarket three weeks ago.

Cityscape half-brother to 1m2f-1m4f winner Burgonet and 2m AW winner Anisoptera; never dangerous when a 9l fifth of nine at Leicester (1m, good; 33-1) on recent debut and he's probably more of a middle-distance prospect for next year.
