Won at Wolverhampton (9.4f, AW) in February in his second handicap; backward steps in his three starts since, admittedly clipping heels early on latest (Madjid's race at Doncaster; 11-2) but doubts are creeping in.

Two turf starts last year; made the breakthrough in his second handicap when scoring at Wolverhampton (9.5f, AW) in February; yet to build on that, however, and others arguably have more scope for improvement on this switch back to grass.

Improved for the step up to 9.4f when winning at Wolverhampton last month, his second handicap; only fourth behind two of tonight's rivals at Wolverhampton 16 days ago; needs to raise his game but that is possible.

Consistent nursery form features a win at Leicester (7f) in August and close second at York (1m) last time; chance of defying these stiffer terms depends on how well he responds to first-time headgear.

Territories gelding; in the frame on all his four runs to date, returning with a good fourth on his handicap debut at Southwell (1m) last month; this keen-going sort holds solid claims back down to 7f.

Placed in two 7f AW maidens on the autumn; beaten at 8-11 odds when third on latter occasion but that form looks better now than it did at the time; gelded during the winter; ought to be suited by the step up in trip on this handicap debut.

Presents a dilemma as he looked a plausible Dewhurst prospect with his Group 2 Superlative win on the July course here (beat Italy) but subsequently flopped badly, finishing last of six, in the Group 1 National Stakes; chance partly depends on how well he responds to first-time headgear.

Dubawi colt, grandson of Irish 1,000 Guineas winner Gossamer; landed odds on debut in Sandown maiden over this trip in June and followed up in Group 2 Superlative Stakes at Newmarket, avoiding interference on near side then hanging left once hitting the front (beating Italy 1.25l); still a work in progress with likely more to offer and following the same path as yard's 2021 winner Native Trail.

Now 0-6 but he's posted progressive RPRs when runner-up on all three starts since joining George Boughey; the form of his latest 1m2f Newmarket second has been boosted by subsequent wins for the third and fourth (the winner also a creditable third in a Listed race); if he can pull out only a little more for the addition of cheekpieces he could take a bit of stopping.

Showed promise in three turf runs for Ralph Beckett last summer; turned over at 4-6 this year at Wolverhampton (AW) in a 7f maiden and 8.6f handicap, which were his best form and he's shaping as if worth a go at 1m2f but he needs to find extra.

Showed promise behind some useful rivals in three runs for Ralph Beckett last summer; returned after gelding operation with odds-on defeat here (7f maiden) last month but he pulled a long way clear of the third and that was behind a rival who followed up under a penalty; looks on a fair mark now switched to a handicap and he's an interesting contender at a new trip.

Form & Verdict
68,000gns yearling by Dark Angel; stable's apparent second string when fourth at Newmarket (6f, good to firm) behind the potentially high-class Treanmor; weakened there and has an extra furlong to go here, but should stay on breeding.

Softening ground wouldn't harm having won his 7f Sandown nursery on soft and run perfectly well off his 4lb higher mark at Doncaster (good to soft); this is a different kettle of fish altogether and he probably lacks the scope for the improvement that he'll need.

Bounced back with a bang from a disappointing nursery debut when responding well to see off a short-priced favourite over 7f at Sandown (soft) 12 days ago; a 4lb rise doesn't look too severe with the front two clear and he's one of few in the line-up who has proved he's effective on going softer than good.

Comfortably held switched to nursery level last time, failing by a long way to back up his maiden/novice form; however, bred to do better yet, being brother to a fairly useful sort for his connections.
