Trainer still to get rolling with 2yos this spring but is a pleasing 10-37 with them here; this 55,000euros early foal, who holds a couple of sales-race entries, is a likely looking newcomer.

He ran his best race for current connections when third of five at Catterick five weeks ago (6f, good; blinkers first time); dropped 2lb but suspicion he will remain vulnerable.

Useful as 2yo for Archie Watson; absent for 501 days prior to three modest AW efforts for his new stable this year; dropped 11lb and now tried in blinkers so a revival isn't out of the question; not a solid option though.

Yard has made a decent start with juveniles this term and is 20-101 with them here; this £45,000 yearling is a half-brother to a 2yo winner, out of a 2yo winner, albeit over 1m and 7f respectively; holds a couple of notable entries in the autumn and the market will guide.

Has dropped a fair way down the weights over the last year or so, but looked back in prime form when scooting clear to win readily by 4l at Southwell (5f, AW) last week; also suited by good to firm turf and is 4lb ahead of the handicapper under his 5lb penalty.

Still to win a handicap and has been turned over as favourite four times this year; did well to finish second last time (first run under Seamus Cronin) having reared at the start and it's bound to fall right at some point, maybe tonight.

Debut second on Tapeta last month, following a slow start, but didn't improve on that on soft ground last time; trainer is 3-12 with 2yos here but the first-time tongue-tie will need to help this representative if he's to enhance those numbers.

Trainer's first two 2yo runners this spring finished well held and he's just 1-27 with juveniles here down the years; this 45,000gns yearling is bred to be sharp, though, and holds a few sales-race entries later on.

Ran a couple of fair races over this trip on fast ground for Gemma Tutty last season; below par on the AW later in the season and was bought for 4,500gns in October and then gelded; well beaten on stable debut but should improve for the run.
