Form & Verdict
Three different trainers for first three runs; showed ability on first two starts (1m/7f, including on Polytrack) and kept on for promising fifth of nine in Wolverhampton maiden (5f, Tapeta) three weeks ago on stable debut; has potential off opening mark, especially now back up in trip.

J: Mr Fletcher Yarham

T: Dylan Cunha

Won this year at Lingfield (7f, AW) and Sandown (1m, good) in two of his five handicaps; the latter was an amateurs' race under Fletcher Yarham; tongue tied when below form on latest outing, so he isn't today; going beyond 1m for the first time gives him a fair bit to prove but having Motivator as the dam's sire gives some hope.

Needs to prove he can still get the job done, having finished second on nine of his last ten starts, most recently over C&D last Monday; however, his consistency is admirable and he can be bang there once more.

J: Jack Doughty

T: Tony Carroll

Versatile 7yo who has won ten times at up to 1m; hasn't made an impact since his Leicester win (6f, good to firm) in May but he had lots of traffic issues at Newbury three weeks ago; can put a line through that and he's a player if he gets some luck this time.

Form & Verdict
Won three times over 1m/8.6f on AW towards end of last year, including here; again failed to settle when fourth at Newcastle (7f) last Friday but he could still have more to offer on AW and is one to consider.
