Two 1m handicap wins at Kempton in early 2023; mostly in good form on turf since but likely to need more than his latest defeat on Tapeta, at Wolverhampton nearly two months ago (first-time cheekpieces, retained); course debut.

J: Callum Shepherd

T: George Scott

Can start slowly and usually comes from off the pace; won twice at Kempton (1m, AW) earlier in the year and he's reached the frame in his last three runs, including a second here (1m, good to firm) in June; still unexposed on turf and he has shaped as though this step back up in trip could suit; in the mix.

Quirky colt who's continued to run in snatches since the blinkers went on; nothing wrong with last month's three runs here and he's capable off this mark but there are risks involved.

His two wins came off slightly lower marks and he's completely exposed after a busy AW campaign; looked to go hard in front last time and has been consistent in the blinkers but remains vulnerable to improvers.

Maiden is still to get involved in a finish but has rarely been beaten far; looked to have nicked it from the front over C&D last time, only to weaken quickly late on, and is better drawn this time and down 2lb.
