Half-brother to seven winners; took a keen hold when a well-held sixth of eight on his Leicester debut (7f, good to firm; 12-1) in June; blinkers given a go on this return from three months off and he needs to step up.

Didn't need to improve on his 2yo form to win a conditions event at Wolverhampton (6f) in April; backward steps twice since and he needs a subsequent gelding operation to spark improvement.

J: Ryan Moore

T: James Horton

Won a maiden at Leicester (7f, good to firm) on his second run as a 2yo; creditable efforts in Listed/Group 3 events afterwards (5f-7f); only had to match that form to win a 6f conditions event at Wolverhampton on his return in April and he was put in his place in Listed race at Newbury (6f, good) five weeks ago; Ryan Moore booked but this looks a tough mark and the return to 5f isn't enough to tempt.

AW maiden winner and has shown better form in defeat in handicaps this year, beaten at short odds but running his best RPR when second of four at Lingfield (1m2f, good to firm) a fortnight ago; likely to go well.

Confirmed earlier juvenile promise when taking 7f AW maiden here (first-time hood) in September; solid effort when third of 12 upped to this trip at Salisbury in May and was unlucky not to finish closer when fourth at Ripon (also good) five weeks ago; hood removed but he still looks a key player.

Running well in defeat in 7f/1m handicaps for Brian Ellison this year; changed hands for 34,000gns this month; shrewd new yard quick to drop him back in trip (peak RPRs last year achieved over 6f); worth a second look in the betting.

Eight-race maiden; second in Wolverhampton handicap (9.4f) on seasonal debut in April and put two lesser efforts behind him when sixth there (8.6f) last month but needs to find something extra over this new trip; wore blinkers or cheekpieces for last five races but goes without headgear today.
