Form & Verdict
Runner-up at Bath (5f, good) on his second start in August, but not quite so good when fourth of 13 at Redcar (5f, good) last month; closely related to the Ayr Gold Cup winner Significantly who also scored on Tapeta, so worth considering on nursery/AW debut with cheekpieces now given a go.

Won a maiden over C&D in May and ran with credit in a couple of AW nurseries in recent months, as when second of ten at Kempton (6f, Polytrack; first-time tongue-tie) in August; return to this trip may suit and cheekpieces are now added, but others still look stronger.

Made a successful nursery debut at York (6f, good to soft) in July, but well held in two stronger contests since (albeit 5lb out of the weights last time); out of a Fibresand winner and isn't short of speed, so the return to this trip shouldn't be an issue; worth a second look.

Record since switched to nurseries reads 21211, her last two wins coming over C&D in August and a narrow success in a much stronger contest than this at Chester (5f, good to soft) three weeks ago; up another 3lb, but her rider's 7lb claim a positive and she holds a major chance of completing the hat-trick.

Some promise when third of six on his Ayr debut (6f, good to firm) in June, but well held in two starts over 5f since (tongue tied last time); out of a US dirt winner and has the inside draw, but still needs to take a significant step forward on nursery debut.
