Poor in his first two starts over 5f on a soft surface in April, but a complete contrast when landing an Ayr maiden (6f, good to firm) last month; significant rain would be an issue, but makes plenty of appeal otherwise if conditions remain on the fast side; stable has a good record in this race.

Tailed off on debut at Leicester a fortnight ago but sent off just 9-4 and perhaps heavy ground didn't suit; he's the first foal of a Group-placed 1m 2yo winner and could be a different proposition here for his top yard.

Value shot up from 75,000euros as a yearling to 250,000gns at a breeze-up sale in April; fourth foal; closely related to Listed-placed 1m winner Loch Lundie (RPR 101); dam 6f 2yo winner (86), half-sister to 1m 2yo Group 1 winner Lyric Of Light out of 6f 2yo Listed winner/Cheveley Park second Suez; stable's 2yos have made a slow start to the season but lots to like otherwise.

Stable having a quiet season with 2yos thus far but this colt offered hope on his debut last month, when making a lot of the running over 6f; that wasn't much of a maiden but he's entitled to improve.

Shaped with promise behind a smart stablemate first time out at Chester (5f, soft) but finished last on his return visit (good); it remains to be seen whether he prefers softer ground but he's a strong contender on that initial effort.

Steady progression in handicaps this year but he's had plenty of racing now and the handicapper knows where he is; no obvious reason he won't go well again for his in-form yard but is vulnerable to improvers.

Smart as 2yo, placed in the Group 3 Acomb at this meeting (on good to firm) before winning a Listed race at Doncaster (6f, heavy); retains ability but he's not obviously well handicapped and the suspicion is he would prefer good ground or softer; gelded since last start.
