Form & Verdict
Showed promise when second of seven on his Pontefract debut (1m2f, soft) in April and improved plenty when slamming an impressive debut winner by over 7l at Nottingham (1m2f, heavy) three weeks ago; has to prove himself under the likely contrasting conditions, but there is probably a lot more to come from him especially over this longer trip.

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.

Form & Verdict
Did it well when winning by 5l on his Newcastle debut (1m2f, AW) a month ago, but looked unsuited to the tight circuit when last of eight behind Military Order in the Listed Derby Trial at Lingfield (1m4f, AW) 11 days later; should be more at home on this more galloping track on turf debut and likely to play a part.

5l win at Newcastle (1m2f, AW) in May on debut and useful form when runner-up in a novice at Doncaster (1m4f, good to firm) on third start; his other two runs were in warm races when well beaten in the Lingfield Derby Trial (AW) and 1m4f handicap at Royal Ascot (good; 33-1) and in the latter he did not have the excuse of racing close to the strong pace; lightly raced but something to prove.

Out of a half-sister to the same owner's Group 1 winner Arabian Queen and was sent off just 2-1 when making a winning debut at Windsor (1m2f, soft) last month; not sure how strong the form is, but he is open to plenty of improvement and the step up in trip shouldn't be an issue; respected.

Can set the pace; twice runner-up at Wolverhampton (1m6f/16.5f) during the winter and a good third of 14 in competitive event at Lingfield (2m, also AW; Tarbat Ness sixth) on Good Friday; turf no problem and he should give a good account.

Often a front-runner; 1lb lower than when twice runner-up at Wolverhampton (1m6f/16.5f) during the winter and didn't enjoy much luck when behind a couple of these there last month, but the outside stall won't make things easy.
