Plenty of stamina in his pedigree (brother to a staying chaser, half-brother to 1m6f winner, from the family of Order Of St Geroge) and this step up in trip is bound to suit after a pleasing 7f debut at Southwell seven weeks ago; holds good claims.

Sixth foal; brother to 2m/3m1f jumps winner Eagle Terrace, closely related to winners Australian Angel (1m3f-1m6f; RPR 90), Cloud Angel (1m4f; 77) and New Angel (1m AW; 75); dam US 8.5f-10.5f turf/AW winner (including Grade 3; 102), half-sister to Order Of St George; has plenty of stamina in his pedigree but he still needs a close look on debut.

Unfortunate not to open his account when headed in the final stride on handicap debut at Wolverhampton AW (1m4f) in April; not so good on return to turf at York (1m4f, good) last month; withdrawn on account of the ground (good to firm) since; still needs to prove his effectiveness on turf.

Better with each of her three runs on turf, again proving strong in the market when off the mark on soft ground eight days ago; is quite a late foal with stamina in her pedigree, and this stiffer test should suit under a penalty.

Competitive off this sort of mark during a limited campaign last year without looking to have anything in hand; similar story over this trip on her comeback in early April and she took a step backwards at Brighton (1m2f, also good to firm) 25 days later; handicapper's not really budging but cheekpieces are enlisted and this is winnable.

Clear second in a Southwell nursery last time gives him decent claims but he's done his racing over 6f-7f (half-brother to sprinter Militia) and will be going into the unknown stamina-wise tonight; is vulnerable to improvers back to novice company.

Took him a long time to get off the mark, but has utilised forcing tactics to good effect over C&D this year (1241); 5lb higher than for his latest success, though, and he doesn't have a great draw.

Disappointing at Southwell (6f) last time but he went close over C&D on his penultimate run and that was after an emphatic front-running success at this track; drawn out wide on this step back up in trip but has possibilities if he can bounce back.
