Form & Verdict
Won a Kempton novice (6f, AW) on the second of his two 2yo runs; held in three starts this spring but he had a nightmare with traffic issues in a 7f handicap at York (7-2 favourite) last time; now drops back in grade and he's an interesting contender on this step up to 1m.

Won two AW races for Andrew Balding whom he left for 60,000gns; he's not always looked entirely straightforward but he was less than 2l away last time at Newmarket (7f, good) after being in rear at one point; Tom Marquand takes over now; respected.

Picked up from Andrew Balding for 60,000gns not long after an AW win (1m) this time last year; not the easiest (can lug left) and will need to settle better after a spell sprinting, over tonight's stiff 7f, but he's capable off this mark if things fall right.

Wins for Andrew Balding came on Polytrack, latterly off this mark over 1m last summer; a slow start did for him down to 5f last time and, while he doesn't always look the easiest and can lug left, he's capable if things fall his way.

Three AW wins from his 11 starts (including over C&D), but he hasn't threatened back in this sphere in his two runs this season; made some late gains to finish third at Chelmsford (1m2f) last time but he needs to find more back at this trip.

Hasn't really gone on from making a winning handicap debut in April; was rather wayward back on turf last time and connections opt for a visor rather than blinkers here; there's real hope for going beyond 8.6f for the first time on breeding; 7lb claimer returns to the saddle.

Form & Verdict
Mixed form in three qualifying runs but he went very close over C&D on debut and his fifth at Kempton (1m2f) last month was a respectable effort behind some useful prospects; this is more realistic on handicap debut and he needs a close look back in trip; tongue-tie added.
