Bounced back from a blip in the Coventry at Royal Ascot when narrowly denied in 5f Listed event at Sandown (good) in July; one of two who raced near side and wide of the main group when seventh in the Molecomb at Goodwood since and it's probably worth forgiving that; William Buick seemingly prefers him to Silent Applause.

Only blip was in the Coventry when nowhere near his best on only attempt at 6f; beat last weekend's Group 3 winner Fitzella for his second success and the filly who narrowly denied him at Sandown last time (5f Listed, good) was second to Fitzella at Ascot; perhaps vulnerable to a real top-notcher (Lady Iman could be) but he's likely to be involved in the finish.

120,000euros foal, 200,000gns yearling; by notable first-season sire Starman and half-brother to his stable's 5f/1m winner Soprano (including 2yo debut/Group 3; RPR 110); leaps off the page and is very interesting.

Absent and gelded since finishing last of seven in Newmarket Group 2 last July; solid novice form otherwise, culminating in Newbury success from the front (6.5f, good); may still have more to offer and looks interesting dropped back in class.

9st 3lb

J: Billy Loughnane

T: George Boughey

Thrice-raced colt who proved suited by the step up to 6.5f (from 5f) at Newbury most recently and could well build on that win; bred to rate higher, being half-brother to a Group 3 scorer for his yard.

OUR TIP

2 yo Colt

OR:

Form & Verdict
Represents a yard that is 0-39 with 2yos but showed promise with his 40-1 third against fellow newcomers in the Brocklesby at Doncaster (good to soft) and is now the only runner who has the advantage of experience.

Raced mainly at 5f; won Doncaster novice (good to soft) last summer and bettered that form when fifth to Revival Power in Doncaster Group 2 (80-1) in September; doubled his tally when producing career best to make all in Chester handicap (good) on Friday; drawn on the wing but could be the sort to run above himself.

Doncaster novice winner (5f, good to soft) last July and ran well for second in a soft-ground nursery at Sandown one month later; highly tried since and came up short, albeit running a good race when fifth in the Group 2 Flying Childers; neither start this year suggests he is the answer today.

Won Newbury novice (6f, good) last August on third start and followed up in three-runner nursery at Goodwood (6f, heavy); faced some tough tasks subsequently and she reverts to a handicap for her reappearance in a race her trainer won last year; this 3yo could give a good account.

6f wins at Newbury (novice) and Goodwood (heavy-ground nursery) on her third and fourth starts; tailed off in Doncaster sales race next time but last Saturday's seventh of 11 when 125-1 in valuable event at Ascot (6f, good) was a good run; better still is probably needed and this is 7f.

Maiden was runner-up three times in a row at Dundalk during the winter; not as good in recent months; midfield in 6f Curragh handicap on latest but this is an ease in grade; Colin Keane takes over; high draw not ideal.
