Form & Verdict
Made a promising debut when second of six at Nottingham (1m, soft) last October (form worked out well), but well held on his Kempton return (1m4f, Polytrack) this month (reportedly hung left); needs to bounce back but the return to a left-handed track may help.

Both wins have been on the Polytrack at Lingfield, last time winning by 2.5l in first-time blinkers over 1m5f; very much had the run of things that day but could be capable of defying the 5lb rise should the headgear continue to help.

Course winner (1m2f); ran well at Chelmsford in June off 5lb higher; stepping up to 2m hasn't worked on his last two starts, albeit in stronger company than this; blinkers added now back down in grade and he's one to be interested in.

Remains lightly raced and his useful dam got better with age for this yard; promising fourth at Chelmsford (1m6f, AW) last month but soundly beaten there since (2m) and he needs to raise his game today.

OR:

Form & Verdict
Improved from last month's Newmarket debut when third of 12 at Ffos Las (1m, good to soft) 20 days ago; two half-brothers won on the AW and so did his dam, so he could make an impact if taking another step forward now upped in trip.

Placed in five of his eight starts including all three on the Wolverhampton Tapeta (9.5f/1m4f); well held in a valuable Haydock handicap (1m6f, good) last time, but he was kicked at the start and lost a shoe; back in much quiter waters here and looks the one to beat.

Unfortunate not to open his account when headed in the final stride on handicap debut at Wolverhampton AW (1m4f) in April; not so good on return to turf at York (1m4f, good) last month; withdrawn on account of the ground (good to firm) since; still needs to prove his effectiveness on turf.

Sixth in both starts, but only beaten 3l at Wolverhampton (8.6f, Tapeta) this month (Thorntonledale Max second); bred to stay on the dam's side, but he still looks more one for handicaps.
