750,000euros yearling; 100-30 when beaten half a length into second of 11 on his debut over C&D last month, greenness probably costing him late; bred to be useful and with that initial experience under his belt he has a major chance of going one better.

A poor show last May prompted a second wind operation and it was a solid campaign otherwise; never better than when second this February in 2m AW handicaps at Wolverhampton and Lingfield, but peak turf form isn't far behind it and he'll probably be on the premises.

Developed into a useful handicapper on the Flat for Hugo Palmer last year; having rejoined Olly Murphy, he continued the good work when second on 2m Wolverhampton reappearance three weeks ago, with reopposing pair Enemy and Brasil Power narrowly behind in third/fourth; likely to go well again.

J: Rossa Ryan

T: James Tate

Displayed a willing attitude to win a 1m maiden at Kempton in January and advanced his RPR again when narrowly denied on his Southwell handicap debut (1m again) in February; the Southwell form hasn't really worked out but his very useful pedigree marks him down as one who could have more to offer now switching to turf after a break.

He has improved with each of his three starts, displaying a willing attitude to win a 1m maiden at Kempton last month; he will need to improve again to defy this opening mark but his pedigree suggests that is highly likely (half-brother to seven winners, including at Group 1 level).

Form & Verdict
Caught the eye when sixth of 12 on his Lingfield debut (7f, Polytrack) in October and again showed ability when fourth of 14 at Kempton (1m, Polytrack) 13 days ago; this slightly stiffer test should suit (dam won over a furlong further here), but this may be a warm little contest of its type.

Form & Verdict
Stepped up from last month's Newcastle debut when third of 11 here (7f) a fortnight ago, looking a bit unlucky not to finish second; holds a Derby entry and the longer trip shouldn't be a problem on breeding, but he will probably need to improve again if he is to come out on top.

Led towards the finish in 1m Lingfield maiden at the start of the month; may have followed up in 1m2f handicap there but for being quite badly hampered over 1f out; has looked slightly awkward but first-time cheekpieces may help in that regard and there's little doubt he has the ability to win off this mark.

Close third behind Starshiba and Miami Thunder in similar event over C&D when last seen ten weeks ago, doing well considering he perhaps didn't have the ideal track position; gelded since (hasn't always looked straightforward); retains low mileage and may do better still; possibilities.
