Form & Verdict
3yo who made it 2-3 when winning competitive York handicap (7f, good) in May; took step back in right direction with close fifth of 24 at Newcastle (6f, AW) last month in a first-time visor (retained), but he hasn't progressed as perhaps could have been expected and he needs a bigger run here.

Won the Ayr Bronze Cup (6f, good) last September; travelled strongly when fifth of 17 in the Victoria Cup at Ascot (7f, good to firm) last month; that suggested a return to 6f would suit but he got a little outpaced before keeping on for third back sprinting at Redcar 19 days ago; makes a quick return to 7f and it remains likely there's a bigger performance in him; the outside stall isn't ideal, though.

8st 11lb

J: James Sullivan

T: Tim Easterby

Two wins at up to 6f on slow ground; has a squeak based on his Hamilton second in September but he's been badly out of sorts on his last three starts; steps up in trip but he's half-brother to two winners over it, so he could see it out; one of two in this for his trainer.

Ran on well to win a 6f handicap at Newmarket two weeks ago (6f, soft); that race had rather an end-of-season feel to it but the Topspeed figure was good and a 3lb rise looks fair; interesting on first AW start since October 2018.

Three AW wins earlier this year (6f/5f) and he didn't run badly back on turf at Ayr last month following a 53-day break; however, this nine-time AW winner is 0-32 on grass and it's probably best to look elsewhere.
