0-9 since his early 2yo wins and has lacked consistency this season; good chance off current mark, provided he's suited by the step up to 7f.

0-8 since his early 2yo wins; however, ran respectably in first-time cheekpieces at Newmarket (6f) most recently and has possibilities in the retained headgear dropped in class.

J: David Egan

T: George Scott

0-7 since winning his first two races when with Alice Haynes; signs of a resurgence (after being gelded) when close up over C&D in June and can be excused the following effort on his first taste of Chester; could have a part to play in the new cheekpieces.

Form & Verdict
Blue Point colt who justified favouritism in AW contest at Kempton 23 days ago, contributing to his trainer's flying start with 2yos this term; set for an interesting clash with another April winner.

10st 2lb

J: Alberto Sanna

T: Archie Watson

Has run with credit in Group and Listed company since winning at the latter level as 2yo (good) and he gave it a very good shot on handicap debut at Chester (6f, good) recently when pressing hard throughout; shade more to prove up 1lb with this stiffer test.

Listed winner at two and twice placed at that level subsequently; latest fifth in Germany was a good effort on RPRs and he's been gelded since; on a tough mark for belated handicap debut but he's earned it.

Useful colt who won a Listed event over this C&D (good) as a 2yo and was just denied at Chantilly (6.5f, AW) on his reappearance in March; however, he was disappointing on soft turf back at Chantilly five weeks ago and others have stronger claims on form.

T: Richard Hannon

Promising when third of five behind two previous winners on his Ascot debut (5f, good) in May, but not seen again (gelded in the meantime) until eighth of ten at Sandown (7f, soft) a fortnight ago; has something to prove after that, but would be involved if rediscovering his debut form.
