J: Kieran Shoemark

T: Ed Walker

Ended his 2yo campaign with a 1m2f nursery win on soft ground one year ago; career has gone forwards again on last two starts with 1m2f wins at Epsom (good) and Doncaster (good to soft); 5lb higher than last time but he may have had more in hand than the margin suggests; player.

J: Tom Marquand

T: Ed Walker

Ended his 2yo campaign with a 1m2f nursery win on soft; rather mixed this term but winning by nearly 3l at Epsom (1m2f, good) three weeks ago was a career best, sticking to his task very well up the near rail; back up 4lb but a serious player if that latest form is reproduced.

J: Kieran Shoemark

T: Ed Walker

Ended his 2yo campaign with a nursery win at Yarmouth (1m2f, soft) but he's been a bit up and down this season and was only third of four at Salisbury (1m4f, good to firm) last time; record is now 1-9 and others are more persuasive.

Form & Verdict
Second at this track (1m1f, good) last month but disappointed when sixth of seven at Newmarket (1m, soft) on handicap debut 11 days ago; race may have come soon enough (nine days) but has plenty to prove; cheekpieces go on.

Ground-versatile sort won a Ballinrobe maiden (9.5f, good) and a Listowel handicap (8.5f, heavy) last season off 1lb lower; modest effort on seasonal return at Ballinrobe (9.5f, gd-yld) but sharper for that and can't be discounted with yard in form.

3yo has won twice this season, including on latest at Listowel (8.5f, heavy) off 4lb lower (Quatre Bras 0.75l behind); ground conditions fine and should go well again if proving as effective on this track.

Form & Verdict
Gelded after three runs, he got off the mark at Chepstow (1m, good) on his handicap debut last month and followed up at Bath (1m, good) 12 days later; raised another 8lb he needs to improve again but the step up in trip should suit and if he handles the soft ground then he will take a lot of beating.
