2-2 in 2yo campaign, impressive in Pontefract Listed race on the second occasion (1m, soft); didn't run badly when seventh in the Dante on reappearance (1m2f, good to firm), then well beaten in the Derby (1m4f, good; off since); others have stronger form but this 3yo is unexposed and the return to slow ground is an interesting angle.

100,000gns yearling by Too Darn Hot; re-sold for £50,000 at the Doncaster breeze-up in April; promising 0.75l second in a Chester maiden on debut (7.5f, good to soft; 9-4, pulled hard); that form yet to be tested, but 1m should suit and an obvious candidate.

J: Neil Callan

Upped to 1m2f for wins when favourite at Chelmsford (AW) and Redcar (good to firm) on last two outings; up another 5lb and 1m1f may not help, so strongly did he stay on last time, but he is progressing well and has just two to beat; the hat-trick beckons.

Consistent; stepped up in trip, duly obliging at Chelmsford (1m2f Class 5; 85-40 favourite) a fortnight ago; reverts to turf with more improvement necessary (in this higher grade) to double up from a 4lb higher mark; it's possible that the task is achievable though; merits respect.

Consistent sort who got off the mark at Epsom (8.5f, good) last August and has made the frame in all five starts since, latest when third of 12 here (1m, AW) last month following six-month break; should strip fitter and be thereabouts.
