A fair maiden for Karl Burke but he has offered little on both runs for his current yard, failing to beat a rival in 6f Kempton handicap 20 days ago; others are preferred.

Good chance on the pick of his 2yo form for Karl Burke but he was sold cheaply in January and finished a well-beaten fifth (125-1) on his stable debut last week; this low-grade handicap is more suitable but he still carries risk.

Fair form on all four 2yo runs, most recently when fourth over 1m at Goodwood (good to soft) last August; had gelding and wind operations in the autumn; not sure to benefit from today's drop back to 6f but still considered.

Fair level of juvenile form - RPR's in the 70's - over 6f-1m; underwent wind surgery, and gelded, prior to reappearing in a Brighton maiden (6f, good to firm; third, beaten 6l) in April; probably needs a bit more to make the breakthrough.

Form & Verdict
Below form on latest of six 2yo starts in Ireland (bought for 45,000gns afterwards and gelded) but ran to fairly useful level when placed in consecutive 6f nurseries (both on good ground) last August/September and will be right in the thick of things if able to replicate that form on this seasonal/stable debut; swaps blinkers for first-time hood.

Progressive form in the spring, following a ready Brighton win with an emphatic success at Doncaster (6f, good to firm) on handicap debut; ran no sort of race when favourite at Newmarket's July meeting last time but has had two months off and now reappears in cheekpieces; may still be unexposed.

2-2 since faced with 6f on fast ground, following his ready Brighton win with an emphatic success at Doncaster on his handicap debut eight weeks ago; while that latest form hasn't been especially well advertised, he looked a smart prospect and has a major chance despite an 11lb rise.

Chased home a notable opponent at Wolverhampton in December (7f); beaten at odds-on at Catterick on his return to action but he made no mistake dropped to 6f at Brighton 18 days ago; more on his plate in a handicap but could well have more to offer.

Turf win (6f, good to firm) last summer; improved for the switch to AW this winter, winning at Chelmsford (6f) in November and adding two C&D handicaps since; 5lb rise for latest win against fillies asks a stiffer question of her but foolish to discount in her current form.

Steadily progressive Dark Angel filly who bagged a pair of 7f/1m handicaps at Kempton and York in the summer and wasn't seen to ideal effect when a good sixth of 12 in 1m Goodwood handicap last time; merits serious consideration off an unchanged mark on her Tapeta debut.

Kept on for third on handicap debut here (7f, good to soft) last month then won at Kempton (7f, AW); followed up when making all at York (1m, good to firm) for which she's gone up 6lb; this progressive 3yo holds likeable claims for a top trainer who won this in 2018 and 2020.
