Well-bred colt who is out of a Group 3 winner; showed promise on his Wolverhampton debut (6f) in November and he buiilt on that when a close third over 7f there (7-2) last month; sets a clear standard on that form and he's open to more progress on this switch to Polytrack; tongue-tie added.

Big price for her Chelmsford debut (6f) last month but she rallied well to finish fourth of ten behind a 4-11 shot; that was a promising effort and she's open to progress on this step up in trip; dangerous.

Four-race maiden who has proved a free-going sort and had little left at the business end last time (6f); however, may settle better and show progress with hood now fitted; one to consider.

Form & Verdict
Encouraging fifth at Southwell (6f, Tapeta) last July in sole run for George Scott; gelded afterwards and changed hands for 5,000gns; returned for new yard at Kempton (7f Polytrack) last month but was always in rear and finished a remote ninth at a biggish price; can only be watched after that low-key effort.

Best run was his penultimate one when coming from last to finish third of the five runners in a 7f novice here; ridden differently on his return visit and weakened; could pay his way in handicaps.

3 yo Gelding

OR:

Form & Verdict
Tailed off on Nottingham debut in October but that was in the mud and he left that form well behind when a 5l sixth at Southwell (6f, AW) ten days ago; needs to take another major step forward here but he has plenty of stamina in his striking pedigree and this step up in trip looks a good move.

J: Poppy Scott

T: Sir Mark Prescott Bt

Hasn't really gone on from making a winning handicap debut in April; was rather wayward back on turf last time and connections opt for a visor rather than blinkers here; there's real hope for going beyond 8.6f for the first time on breeding; 7lb claimer returns to the saddle.

Scored on handicap debut at Southwell (7f, AW) in April but is yet to make any significant further progress after three further AW starts (7f-8.6f; blinkers added last time); needs to kick on again on this return to turf.

Faded into eighth of 12 on Kempton debut (7f) in November and he weakened again when 11l fourth at Southwell last month; still early days but he has plenty to find here and needs a more dynamic effort.

Both his wins have come on AW, the latest here in June off 5lb lower; current mark will be no excuse and a greater concern would be his last run at Musselburgh.

Both his wins have come on AW but he has had few chances on the grass and seems effective on good or quicker, as when third of eight at Catterick (7f) last week; in the mix with a repeat.
