Displayed promise over 7f on debut at Haydock in June and was very respectable third of four when upped to 1m there (again on good to firm) a fortnight ago; has big role to play if handling the slower ground here.

8st 13lb

J: Barry McHugh

T: Richard & Peter Fahey

Won on soft as 2yo; good C&D record includes a third in this race last year and two placed efforts (latterly John Smith's Cup) in a hood this summer; the hood was left off when well beaten over 1m4f at Ascot a fortnight ago but returns now; capable of bouncing back with each-way claims at a venue which suits, particularly with the yard going well.

T: Richard & Peter Fahey

Can race freely and hooded for his last two races at York, in the latest finishing a highly respectable third (promoted from fourth) in the John Smith's Cup (extended 1m2f; good to firm) for which he was 4lb well in; now 3lb higher and surprisingly goes without any headgear, but he's got some momentum behind him.

Form & Verdict
First foal from a fair 6f winner; persistently short of room before keeping on well to snatch second in tactical race at Haydock (7f good; hooded) on last month's debut; needs to be taken very seriously here.

Had dropped a long way in the weights when beaten just a neck over C&D 17 days ago; that took his record to 0-17, but a repeat would give him every chance in this company; may be worth chancing.

One win in 19 starts came in a handicap at Chelmsford (7f, Polytrack; first-time blinkers) in December and only went down narrowly over this C&D later in month; not at her best in her last two starts, but this drop in grade gives her a chance.
