Seven-race maiden; best run when head second in 7f handicap at Doncaster last month (good to firm; blinkers first time); well beaten on soft ground only run since; headgear retained; worth considering.

T: Edward Bethell

Has mixed record in his six starts but he went very close with a hood added in a Doncaster handicap (7f, good to firm) three weeks ago; up 3lb but he pulled clear of the third last time and that was only his second run on turf; key player.

Form & Verdict

60,000euros yearling; dam bred four good winners; unraced as 2yo but made a good start, over 7f at Southwell in March, where he looked like dropping out early in the straight but rallied strongly into third of 12 (second now has a mark in the 80s); off since; market can guide.

Form & Verdict

25-1 for C&D debut in August (tongue tied, as today) and although his fifth place was a remote one he did show a glimmer of ability in a better race than this; should step forward at some stage.

Below best returned to 6f at Carlisle recently but he had put up a good show over 7f at Redcar previously, when chasing home a subsequent winner (at 1-25) at Redcar previously; not out of this on AW debut.

Form & Verdict

Not gone on from early promise and has had his work cut out in 7f handicaps on turf and AW on last two starts, again failing to find much at Chelmsford latest; cheekpieces on but could be fading late again.
