Form & Verdict
140,000gns yearling who's bred for this sort of trip and shaped fairly on his debut in a soft-ground 1m Newmarket novice last autumn (stayed on again having got outpaced); is entitled to improve for a yard also responsible for Wise Counsellor.

1m4f novice winner on the AW; hard to assess right now as he's been highly tried of late but hasn't shown much; others look safer.

Off since early June when tailed off in the Italian Derby; progressive profile prior to that, including a fourth in the Lingfield Derby Trial; these terms aren't favourable but he's a 3yo who could yet have more to offer.

Well beaten in three starts for new stable in early part of this year and also struggled when back on the Flat last month; makes handicap hurdle debut off a lowly mark and with cheekpieces refitted, but has quite a lot to prove.

Second foal out of a half-sister to Derby winner Adayar; at 5-2, he was weak in the market at Wolverhampton two weeks ago (1m4f) and never really threatened to win that race; cheekpieces are now added.

T: Micky Fenton

Visored for the first time when scoring here (1m4f, good to firm) last June for his previous yard, but he hasn't beaten a rival in two starts for this stable; takes a marked drop in trip from plummeting mark in added cheekpieces so worth a cursory market glance; would be a first winner on her third ride for Megan Smith.
