Form & Verdict
Ran in the Queen's Vase at Royal Ascot (tailed off) after winning a 1m4f maiden at Catterick but ran another poor race on his handicap debut in June (the week after Ascot), in a 1m6f low-grade handicap; has a good bit to prove now, though did leave Owen Burrows for 42,000gns and kicks off over hurdles in a weak race.

Won against own age-group on hurdling debut at Ludlow (2m, good) just under a year ago but subsequent hurdle/Flat form has generally been underwhelming; not beaten far when tenth at Chepstow (2m3f, good) this month but makes only limited appeal here; headgear is switched again.

Placed over C&D (good; behind The Magus) for Anthony Charlton on handicap hurdle debut in April but made just a satisfactory stable debut last month and has been well beaten on the Flat since; cheekpieces replace visor.

0-11 over hurdles but has shown bits of form when in the frame; doesn't look the most straightforward and goes without headgear worn on last two runs; steps up in trip but beginning to look exposed.

Form & Verdict
Went backwards after finishing second in a 1m AW maiden back in the spring, showing little in another novice and two handicaps (1m2f/1m3f); never moved with any purpose on his switch to hurdles at Wetherby (first-time tongue-tie; 66-1).

Form & Verdict
The best of these on the Flat, the win coming at 7f in cheekpieces; wore a hood on hurdling debut at Kempton and, while there wasn't much pace on, he quashed any stamina concerns by staying on into second behind a previous winner; the third did nothing for the form at Warwick on Tuesday but this gelding is still the likeliest answer to this.

Dual C&D winner (good to firm/firm) who was also successful at Lingfield (1m1f, good to firm) last month; backed that up with another solid effort at Epsom (1m2f, good to firm) 19 days ago and is now 1lb lower; steps back up in trip with good claims.

Back in good form on last two outings, more recently when making all for clearcut success at Lingfield (1m1f, good to firm) ten days ago; evidently in good nick but enjoyed the run of the race there and is effectively 6lb higher under 5lb penalty here.

Likes stiff tracks (1-1 round here too) and went close to landing a third Bath win over the weekend; turned in a string of consistent efforts once hitting form last summer and is 6lb below his last successful mark, so his claims are obvious.
