Form & Verdict
Promising as 2yo for Godolphin; missed his 3yo season and ran as though something was amiss when favourite for recent stable/handicap debut but remains unexposed and it will be interesting to see whether his supporters wade in again here; hooded for first time.

Two 1m wins on turf (good to firm/good) last year and later won over 1m2f on the Polytrack; well treated on the pick of that form but he's been quiet this year and was well held back from a break at York 16 days ago; needs to raise his game.

Ayr winner in July (1m, good to firm) and solid runs since then off today's 5lb higher mark, finishing just ahead of Milteye (Walsingham further back) on his return to Ayr and then beating all bar a Prescott 3yo on the AW; hard to knock.

Form & Verdict
Best known as a sprinter; placed over 7f on Tapeta this spring and was not disgraced when upped to 1m for quite valuable Polytrack handicap a fortnight ago, but may still be vulnerable to specialist milers here.

Has won at this track on soft; upped markedly to 1m3f at Southwell (AW) last month and led 2f out until three rivals went past in the final 1f; that was a good run, followed admittedly by a lesser show at York but that was over 1m4f; could be a player back here at 1m1f.

Acts on soft; unproven beyond 1m and unraced beyond 1m1f until he tried 1m3f at Southwell (AW) 15 days ago and led 2f out until three rivals went past in the final 1f; that was a good run and his dam won at this trip but others clearly have less to prove in this hot 1m4f race.

Now 13lb lower than when runner-up in major handicap at Glorious Goodwood (1m, good to firm) last summer but has become very inconsistent and was safely held when back at Goodwood nine days ago; hard to predict.

Scored off today's mark over C&D (good to firm) in July, having swapped usual cheekpieces for first-time blinkers, and has largely held his form since; not disgraced in competitive series final at Redcar on Saturday; probably won't be far away if he makes a quick reappearance.
