Form & Verdict
Has hinted at promise in his three runs to date, never-dangerous fifth of eight in 6f Doncaster maiden in May; this son of Mastercraftsman appeals as a likely improver now going handicapping over a much longer trip; interesting.

Justified favouritism at Beverley (1m2f) on handicap debut; however, has failed to build on that success in two subsequent outings, latest over 1m4f; bit to prove upped further in distance.

Lightly raced 3yo who showed promise here in the spring; perhaps unsuited by heavy ground at Ayr two starts ago and by the first-time blinkers over this C&D last Tuesday (no headgear today); however, she's hard to fancy after those heavy defeats.

She has failed to progress and was tailed off at Musselburgh in July; however, the cheekpieces adopted that day are left off, she's had a break since, and there are some firm pointers in her pedigree that this lightly raced 3yo could be suited by today's first encounter with testing ground.

Not disgraced on her handicap debut when staying-on fifth of seven at Hamilton (1m); this longer trip should suit so she's one to consider off a 2lb lower mark.
