Form & Verdict
Well backed and made quite an impression when winning maiden at Redcar (6f, good; 5-4 favourite) five weeks ago by a wide margin; bred to stay at least 7f; promising type, and even with a penalty he's the one to beat.

9st 7lb

J: Hollie Doyle

T: Archie Watson

Strike-rate of 4-12; wasn't helping his jockey when a close third behind an improver at Redcar (1m2f, good to firm) and blinkers could be a significant addition, replacing regular cheekpieces; there's nothing wrong with his mark.

Form & Verdict
Only seventh of 12 at Windsor (6f, good to firm; 40-1) on debut, but that race is working out well (second and third successful since) and improvement seems likely, especially as this longer distance should suit him well; not discounted.

Already looks versatile in terms of the ground, following a debut second on soft with a narrow win in a Musselburgh seller on good to firm, both runs over 5f; sold from Ollie Pears' stable for £24,000 after latter; should have no difficulty getting today's longer trip judged on her pedigree; respected for new stable.

Below-form third when favourite for the 7f nursery at the meeting last year; fourth in a Curragh Group 3 next time was good but she has suffered three heavy defeats in Listed races since (bled from the nose on reappearance); plenty of doubts after that and she looks on a stiff mark anyway.

Form & Verdict
Deserves credit for making up ground following a slow start when winning at Beverley (5f, soft) on debut, and much quicker ground was reportedly against him when a beaten favourite next time; will probably stay 7f; chance would be helped by rain.

Beaten about 9l when upped in trip and seventh of 12 on recent nursery debut at Beverley (7.4f, good to firm); however, that doesn't tell the full story as he got behind after switching to the inside from the widest draw, and the prominent-racers dominated; could be more competitive here.
