9st 9lb

J: Jamie Spencer

T: Archie Watson

Won maiden/novice races at Ayr (6f, good to firm/good) last season on two of his first three starts; came up short in Group/sales races otherwise but reappears having been gelded and he could prove well suited by this first crack at 5f; interesting on handicap debut, especially if backed.

Won by 2l on debut at Ayr (6f, good to firm) in May and bounced back from heavy defeat in the Coventry at Royal Ascot (6f, good to firm) with easy all-the-way win in Ayr novice (6f, good) this month; back up in grade today and still has potential at this level; not discounted.

Form & Verdict
Out of a Listed-placed sprinter and displayed considerable promise when second on debut at Pontefract (6f, good to firm) a fortnight ago, despite tending to hang right from the home turn; may be more straightforward over this straight 6f and needs to be taken very seriously.

J: Oisin Orr

Last season petered out after a promising start, but he was gelded prior to his comeback run at Newcastle (6f handicap) where he went down narrowly under a prominent ride; clear claims on the back of that after a 1lb nudge.

Runner-up in his first two starts, both over 6f on turf; faced some stiff tasks afterwards and came up well short; gelded since last seen; down in class on AW debut; worth a market check.

Runner-up on first two starts (6f, good to firm/good) then handed tough tasks in two sales races; however, he also finished down the field on this month's nursery debut at Thirsk (5f, good) and needs to turn things around in first-time cheekpieces (replacing blinkers).

Form & Verdict
First foal from a fair 5f 2yo winner; last of six when 40-1 for recent C&D (good to soft) debut; that run certainly wasn't devoid of promise but he needs to take a good step forward today.

Shaped well when second on reappearance at Ripon (6f) in April but he beat only one in 6f Hamilton handicap the following month; this fair 5.5f juvenile winner shouldn't be written off.

A fair and consistent 5.5f scorer at 2yrs; back from six months off with a good clear second of 13 in 6f Ripon handicap last month; not taken lightly despite a 4lb weights rise.

Raced three times last term, clear best effort when second of seven over C&D (good) on debut; major player if back to that form, and this reappearance may be the time to catch him; hood applied.

Good start to his career when second of seven at Ayr (6f, good) in June; backwards step when fourth of five there one month later; gelded the following day; major player if back to the debut form and his half-brother Cloud King is well suited by AW; more appealing than many.
