Form & Verdict
Evens favourite when narrowly denied by a Ralph Beckett newcomer at Kempton last November (1m) and the third has won since; half-brother to a 1m4f winner in France so going further this afternoon should help, as might the application of a hood; stable runs two.

Very lightly raced 4yo who went close in a handicap at Meydan in January (1m2f, good; behind Arabian Light) and did likewise in a Listed race in Bahrain (1m3f, good to firm) in February; however, further improvement is required if he's to make a serious impact this evening.

Looked good when taking career record to 2-3 with a comfortable all-the-way success in a novice on the Rowley Mile here (good) eight weeks ago; that form has been boosted, so even an opening mark of 100 may not prove beyond this smart prospect from stable with a very strong record in this race.

Half-brother to a 1m4f winner in France and he improved for the step up to 1m2f when narrowly off the mark on good to soft at Doncaster; might not be overly inconvenienced by this drop in trip, but that latest form hasn't worked out particularly well and he carries a penalty.
