J: Daniel Tudhope

Chepstow novice winner (6f, good to firm) who won a nursery at Windsor (6f, good to soft) last month; no threat for the first two when third in the Group 2 Mill Reef at Newbury (6f, good to soft) three weeks ago but that was still a good performance and he could be a contender now down in grade.

Narrowly justified favouritism in Windsor nursery (6f, good to soft) last time when looking well treated on his earlier second behind the subsequent Gimcrack winner; steadily progressive but this is harder.

Two promising 5f runs to begin his career (trained by Adrian Keatley as a 2yo) but he didn't get home over 6f when last seen; gelded and sporting a hood on this seasonal/stable/handicap debut; opening mark not an obvious gift though.

Consistent colt who can boast 5f wins at Nottingham (novice) and Windsor (nursery off 4lb lower) this season; finished behind two of today's rivals at Haydock two weeks ago but he raced further away from the stands' rail than either Clear Force or Concert and it was also his first run on slower than good; apprentice takes off a handy 5lb; contender.

Moving up to 6f did not work out on his latest outing but he'd shown plenty (without improving much) over 5f before that, including when second of five in a Sandown nursery on penultimate start; back to 5f today but could be vulnerable against less exposed rivals.

Making good progress for his new stable, gaining a deserved success at Redcar last month and following it with a fine second of 13 at York a fortnight ago; a 5lb rise for that defeat does ask an even stiffer question of him but he's not taken lightly.

Has a largely solid record and may remain competitive despite taking an 8lb hike for an emphatic success, having bossed a small field, at Redcar (5f, good) last Saturday; good third of 13 over C&D the time before and doesn't necessarily need to dominate.
