The standout in-form candidate after front-running efforts on last three starts brought two 1m2f Beverley wins and a short-head defeat off this mark in blanket finish over Musselburgh's 1m4f; should go very well again.

J: Sam James

T: Gemma Tutty

Prominent racer; feasibly weighted seeking a hat-trick after back-to-back Beverley wins (1m2f; has risen a combined total of 5lb); the stable is going really well, he's versatile ground wise, and this sharp track should suit; enthusiasm is tempered by inconclusive stamina over 1m4f.

Yet to build upon his pleasing seasonal debut but looked stretched by 1m4f when respectable third at Ripon (good) on Wednesday and remains 3lb below the mark from which he won over this trip last summer.

Was having only his second AW start when successful at Newcastle (1m4f, Tapeta) last October and was back off the same mark when third of nine in first-time cheekpieces at Beverley (1m2f, good) last month; still unexposed in this sphere and one to consider back from a short break.

Unexposed 4yo who overcame slow start and clear inexperience to make winning debut here (7.4f, good to firm) last month; not discredited when third over similar trip at Lingfield two weeks ago; not bred to benefit from this step up in trip but has obvious scope for improvement in handicaps.
