Hinted at promise on last month's debut at Newbury (1m3f, good) and won easily at Salisbury (1m4f, good to firm) a fortnight ago; from a classy family and should continue to progress; leading claims under 6lb penalty.

9st 9lb

J: Callum Hutchinson

T: Andrew Balding

Won three-runner Salisbury maiden (1m4f, good to firm) in June, on third start, but was safely held in both subsequent handicaps (1m6f/2m); needs new cheekpieces to generate some improvement.

J: Oisin Murphy

T: Andrew Balding

Improved with each 1m4f run when qualifying, beating two rivals at Salisbury in the third of them; unable to make an impact in a warm race at Sandown (1m6f) on handicap debut in July, and now he's bumped into another Prescott improver, but he still has potential up in trip on AW debut.

Three runs in 1m4f maiden/novice company this summer, improving his RPR with each start; latest three-runner affair not the easiest to assess but he's likely to stay this longer trip and there should be more in the tank.

Form & Verdict
110,000gns yearling; sixth foal; brother to top stayer Coltrane and half-brother to winners Warda Jamila (1m/1m2f; 93) and Zonisty (bumper); dam unraced sister to a smart 2m-2m4f hurdle winner; in top hands and the market should be instructive.

10st 12lb

J: William Maggs

T: Donald McCain

0-6 on Flat for the Gosdens; encouraging third on hurdling/stable debut at Carlisle (2m1f, good to soft) in March but he failed to build on that when a remote fourth at Hexham (2m, good); has something to prove after that and this looks tough on the figures; equipment returns including a first-time tongue-tie.

Six-race maiden on Flat for the Gosdens, reaching a fair sort of level (peak RPR 81); remains in same ownership; interesting at the weights, assuming he improves for this code; related to a useful hurdler.

Cheekpieces fitted for both runs; appeared to find 1m too sharp when fifth of eight at Southwell (AW) and then finished well behind in a classy 1m2f novice at Newbury; clearly vulnerable to anything with proper potential.

This looks his optimal trip, having won over it at Doncaster in March, and should be happier back on turf having been unable to take his usual prominent position on the AW a fortnight ago; one of the likelier winners.
