Form & Verdict
Easily justified odds-on favouritism on debut at Chelmsford (7f, Polytrack) last December; a worry he's been absent since (gelded in interim) but he's in top hands and will be tough to beat if retaining that initial promise.

0-15 since winning his first three starts; however, he went close at Musselburgh (7f, good) two starts ago despite trouble in running and was again denied a clear run when sixth there (7f, good) last time; could be in the mix if getting the breaks.

Drawn a blank since winning first three starts for Roger Varian but surely would have put that right over C&D (good) last time with more luck in running, going down by only a head despite being repeatedly denied a run in the penultimate furlong; might need the breaks if he's dropped in from the outside stall but still has to be high on the list.

Very pleasing return from 275-day break at Leicester this month; lacked a change of gear at Newmarket (also 7f) subsequently and returning to 1m looks in his favour; draw hasn't been kind, though.

Form & Verdict
Dam was a useful 1m2f winner and she kept on for a fair sixth of eight on belated debut at Chelmsford (1m2f, Polytrack; 20-1) a fortnight ago; however, on that evidence the drop to 7f isn't an obvious plus.
