T: John Gallagher

A respectable 10-60 record includes six wins when making all; 3-11 on AW and he made an encouraging return over C&D three weeks ago, weakening inside the last having pressed a good pace set by Merrimack (second); no surprise if he lasts longer this time and he's well drawn to go forward.

Form & Verdict
Low-mileage 3yo; unraced on softer than good; close third at Windsor (6f) most recently; sole start under Alfie Redman resulted in account-opening win at Bath (5f; stable debut) in August; interesting with that rider back on board.

The only one of these without a win over C&D, but managed to end a long losing run when dead-heating with Midnightattheoasis at Lingfield (5f, Polytrack) 11 days ago (now 7lb higher but meets him on the same terms); may enjoy the run of the race in front.
