Form & Verdict
A staying-on sixth of 20 on his Newbury debut (6f, good); couldn't quite justify favouritism at Kempton (6f, AW) but there was no knocking his attitude and the winner went on to finish third in the Super Sprint; likely to be in the thick of it here from stall 12.

Faced a tough task as the only 3yo against elders in a Listed race at Salisbury last time and contested three Group races last season after his maiden win; sights are now lowered on handicap debut with a visor (in which he ran well once last season) back on; has only once tried 7f but should stay on pedigree.

£360,000 breeze-up buy; had excuses for failing to justify favouritism at Leicester (5f, good to soft) and duly left that form behind to finish second over C&D (good) in early June; that form reads well as the winner wasn't far away in a Listed race last time and the third has since won and finished second in the July Stakes; gelded since; not drawn too well but one to fear.
