Improved as his stamina was drawn out last season, winning over 2m2f here in October (soft); below par on extremely deep ground at Nottingham when last seen 211 days ago but that is not the run to judge him on; unlikely he has reached his ceiling and he's an interesting contender.

Close third at Chester (2m, good) last month then got off the mark at Pontefract (2m2f, soft) last time; travelled well on that most recent start and this lightly raced 4yo may well have more left in the tank.

Form & Verdict
His dam is a half-sister to Taghrooda, who won the Oaks and King George in these colours; comfortable winner when even-money favourite on debut at Nottingham (1m2f, good) three weeks ago and should be tough to beat today.

Won three of his six races (at up to 1m4f) for Roger Varian and was useful; 0-5 over hurdles but bar one blip it's been a promising start; placed in three of his four starts over hurdles in Ireland, including a Naas event in which the top-class Saratoga was second; hung badly right when failing to justify support in a juvenile handicap hurdle at Ascot.

J: Sean Bowen

T: C Byrnes

Won three of his six races (at up to 1m4f) for Roger Varian and was useful; 0-4 over hurdles but bar one blip it's been a promising start; he was facing testing ground for the first time in his life when third at Naas in the race that yet again provided the winner of the Fred Winter and conditions were again slow when third in a big-field maiden last week at Navan; suspicion there's more in the locker that could be unleashed now handicapping, especially back on a drier surface; big player.

3-6 for Roger Varian (rated 93) suited by good ground; joined this stable for 120,000gns; promising third on hurdling debut at Leopardstown; has failed to improve in two winners' events, including a Naas contest in which the subsequent Fred Winter Saratoga was second; the ground remains on the soft side for him.

Form & Verdict
It's very early days for this 120,000gns yearling, whose dam was a 1m4f Group 2 winner, and he's been gelded since his sole run at Lingfield (1m, AW) last November; one to watch in the betting but he was tailed off at 100-1 and a dramatic transformation is required.

Second over C&D on her second start, in a fillies' novice event; well beaten on her only subsequent start; has been given a break since; initial mark looks on the stiff side but she may improve in handicaps.

Half-sister to seven winners, a couple of them useful; stepped up on debut effort to chase home a well-touted Beckett newcomer (odds-on) over 1m2f at Chelmsford and that level of form makes her a player.

13-2 and hinted at ability when third of five behind a 1-12 shot on her Pontefract debut (1m2f, good) in April; half-sister to seven winners (a couple of them useful) but she will need to improve to take this.
