Form & Verdict
In good hands and he could leave his debut run well behind at some point, but he needs a huge step forward here having been a well-beaten last of eight at 18-1 at Newcastle (1m, AW) in February on his first start.

J: Jack Callan

T: Charlie Johnston

Narrow C&D winner (Class 4; 12-1) in November and, broadly speaking, has acquitted himself respectably since; stamina was likely overstretched at Wolverhampton (1m4f) latest; it's interesting that Jack Callan (1-1) returns to the saddle from just 1lb above that winning mark.

1m2f and 1m4f AW winner, including on Tapeta; backed up November's Newcastle success with a respectable third at Lingfield last month; was below that level at Chelmsford (1m2f, Polytrack) latest; drops 1lb and can be competitive if he acts at this track.

Second foal; half-brother to French 1m2f winner Pervade (RPR 102); dam 9.5f-1m4f US Grade 3 winner, half-sister to St Leger winner Logician; fellow debutant Crystal Mariner may be the yard's chief hope under Richard Kingscote but his top stable has an excellent record here and he's not ruled out.

Made debut in April; won novices at Nottingham (1m2f, heavy) in May and Doncaster (1m4f, good to firm) in June; well-backed favourite for handicap at Royal Ascot (1m4f, good) and did well to finish fifth of 19 considering how close he raced to the strong pace, leading 2f out to 1f out; probably fine back at 1m2f and should go very well.

Made debut in April; better the further he went in his 1m2f win on heavy at Nottingham on second start and there was lots to like about the way he travelled and knuckled down to deal with Inquiring Minds at Doncaster (1m4f, good to firm) in another novice three weeks ago; promising handicap debutant.

1-12 on turf; returned to form when second at Doncaster (1m2f, good to soft) in September then went back-to-back at Kempton (1m3f, AW) on next two starts; slowly run series final didn't work out next time; not discounted on this comeback.

Inconsistent but snapped losing sequence when winning at Salisbury (good to firm) in July; below form next two starts but close to career best when second at Doncaster (also 1m2f, good to soft) ten days ago; has run well here before and in calculations from the same mark (2lb well in).

400,000gns yearling who showed plenty of promise when second of five at 100-30 on debut at Lingfield (1m4f, AW) in February; leading form claims in this line-up, even before the likelihood of improvement is factored in.
