Form & Verdict
Shaped nicely at Goodwood on last month's debut (7f, good to firm) and confirmed that promise when third of nine at Ascot on soft ground 23 days ago; should stay this trip and although he's the only maiden in the field, he's not out of it with further progress expected.

A different horse when there's give underfoot and it was very straightforward for him in a Class 2 1m4f handicap at Goodwood a fortnight ago (good to soft); that made it 2-2 in cheekpieces and he's earned the right to a crack at this, but probably playing for the places.

Responded well to first-time cheekpieces in useful handicap (1m4f, soft) on Derby day when last seen, taking Epsom record to 2-2; similar type to High Degree and looks a major player in the retained headgear.

J: Callum Pritchard

T: Philip Hobbs & Johnson White

Useful Flat stayer who made winning stable/hurdle debut at Fontwell (2m1f, good) 16 days ago, drawing clear of the others with the favourite; carries 6lb penalty here and the slightly shorter trip may not be in his favour but he still has a big role to play.

J: Ben Jones

T: Philip Hobbs & Johnson White

Usually a blinkered front-runner this year on Flat; second in May (1m6f, good) was the only significant echo of his useful 2yo form but he still needs a close look on this hurdles debut, with no headgear having left Ralph Beckett for 56,000gns in June.

Overcame his inexperience to win a 1m maiden at Bath two weeks ago (good ground); that form lags behind his rivals but surprising if he isn't capable of a good deal better.

Form & Verdict
Down the field at Doncaster on debut in June, after which he was gelded; lots to like about his Goodwood win 26 days ago (1m, good), still green but powering home to beat nine rivals (third, fourth and fifth have won since); has to concede weight all round but he's promising.
