Off the mark on handicap debut at Salisbury (1m2f, good) in May; below that form off 4lb higher mark at Goodwood (1m2f, good to soft) last month; steps up significantly in trip but not out of this on AW debut.

Still signs of inexperience when appreciating the step up to this trip on her handicap debut three weeks ago; hood comes off and there could well be more to come for a yard that continues in good form, so holds decent claims upped 4lb.

Much respected on his form for Alan King, for all that he was 1-22 for that yard; following a 30,000gns sale he ran okay over C&D on last month's stable debut, but no more than that.

He will have something to prove if slow ground prevails and he was tailed off on his recent reappearance over 2m at Musselburgh; however, that was his first run beyond 1m3f and he went close over that trip at Carlisle last August, when 2lb higher; might not be a forlorn hope back down in trip.
