Form & Verdict
Raced solo towards the near side when winning a novice at Lingfield (7.6f, good) in June; close fourth of seven in handicap at Yarmouth (1m2f, good) and that's only half the story, as he was persistently short of room and seemed to finish full of running; of major interest off same mark.

J: Charles Bishop

Made it 2-4 with comfortable win over C&D (good to soft) last month on second handicap start and good second at Sandown (1m2f, good) subsequently, form that has been franked by the third; he's a 3yo on the up and could well play another leading role if conditions suit (unraced on fast ground).

Form & Verdict
Upped in trip and fitted with cheekpieces for nursery debut at Leicester (7f, good to firm) last August and he improved markedly to win 11-runner race in clearcut fashion, leading final 1f; gelded since; up 7lb but he shaped as if he'd stay and had more in the tank.

Won nursery debut at Leicester (7f, good to firm) last August; second at Windsor (1m2f, soft) on reappearance in July but he's beaten only one rival in both of his small-field races since; visored latest and now has cheekpieces (worn only at Leicester) restored, which is a straw to clutch at.
