210,000euros breeze-up buy who didn't enjoy an ideal trip when winning at 8-1 on last month's debut at Newmarket (6f, good); he's a likeable prospect and a 7lb penalty may not stop him this afternoon.

No match for the winner but still showed considerable promise when runner-up at 3-1 on debut at Redcar (6f, good to firm) in July; this Middle Park entry could be sharper for that outing and he's one to consider today.

115,000gns foal and brother to useful 7f performer Night Raider; failed to justify favouritism at Redcar (6f, good to firm) but ran well in finishing clear of the rest behind Diablo Rojo who was a respectable sixth in Wednesday's Acomb; stepping up to 7f looks an obvious move.
