Former stablemate of Pop Star; has issues at the stalls but he has finished in the frame in his last two starts and begins his time with Iain Jardine (sold for 11,000gns last week) on a dangerous mark; could go well.

Form & Verdict
Won on handicap/seasonal debut at Doncaster (5f, good to soft) in June but he's been well below that form in both runs since; still unexposed but has bit to prove again and he needs to break better than last time.

Unexposed 3yo; looked good, albeit a touch wayward, when winning at Doncaster in June (5f, good to soft) and he was back at that level when second at Ayr 13 days ago, travelling strongly but still looking raw under pressure; up 2lb but looks the type to carry on improving with experience.

Form & Verdict
Has a patchy record but he added to his Hamilton win (6f, good to soft) last summer when making all at Newcastle (5f, AW) last week; back up 5lb but that was a convincing success last time and he's a big player if he can repeat that form.

Form & Verdict
Improved his turf record to 3-14 when holding off a clear second over C&D 12 days ago; remains feasibly treated after a 6lb rise but all of his turf wins have been on good/good to firm and slow ground would be a concern.

His form has deteriorated but his mark has fallen accordingly and he was a promising third at Doncaster (5f, good) recently in first-time blinkers (retained), when denied a clear run; another 1lb lower here; on the shortlist.

Form & Verdict
4yo who has a solid record this season including a Hamilton win (5f, good) last month and a close fourth at Musselburgh last Friday; now only 2lb higher than for that last success and he shouldn't be far away; acts on good to firm and good to soft.
