Form & Verdict
By Dubawi and he's out of a Group-placed 1m winner (105); beaten 6l when fourth of 13 at Kempton (7f) last month but that was behind a smart rival and he ran well for a long way; should improve for that experience and he's a big player in this ordinary race; tongue-tie added.

Brother to some useful/smart winners including Juliet Capulet (7f 2yo including Group 2; RPR 110); has had only four runs and he won a Catterick maiden (7f, good) in May and didn't get any luck when a close fifth on handicap debut at Windsor (1m, good to firm) last Monday; travelled strongly for a long way in that race and he's a big player back in trip.

Brother to some useful/smart winners over about 6f; his own three races have been at 7f, including a Catterick win and he travelled well for a long way when running respectably at Doncaster (again on good) last time; not crying out for 1m on that latest evidence but it's highly likely he will prove better than this opening mark at some point soon, so he needs respect.
