Well down the field after racing too freely in the Coventry four weeks ago but created good impression when clearcut C&D (good to firm) winner on debut in May and is of strong interest if judged on that performance.

8st 5lb

J: Luke Morris

T: Michael Keady

He had started to become disappointing but returned to form with a close fourth at 100-1 at Ascot (5f, good to firm) last month on his second stable start; he'd have been closer with a clear run and could be in the shake-up if he gets the breaks.

J: Kyle McHugh

T: Michael Keady

Won twice at Ayr (6f) in novice/maiden company last term either side of a heavy defeat in the Coventry Stakes; well beaten in two handicaps this year and sold out of Archie Watson's stable for 4,600gns last week; plenty to prove and stable has more obvious claims with Emperor Spirit.

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.

Solid comeback before chasing home an improver at Hamilton; took a backward step as favourite over C&D (hung right) last time and is now tried in another form of headgear; went the wrong last year and has to prove he isn't following the same pattern.

Ended his 2yo campaign with a whimper but a gelding operation has bucked his ideas up and he has run well for second in two 6f handicaps this spring; likely to be bang there once again.

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.

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.

Mighty Magnus

J: Cam Hardie

T: Michael Dods

Won at Musselburgh (5f, good) in June and did well to finish third at Newmarket (5f, good to firm) last month having been hampered early; however, he was only fifth of 13 over this C&D in between those runs and was disappointing at Musselburgh on latest outing; others are more compelling.

Off the mark for the year when comfortably winning a C&D handicap last month; two good efforts have followed, running well in the circumstances when third at Newmarket (5f, good to firm) four weeks ago; the stalls can be an issue but he should be bang there if breaking on terms.

Weak 20-1 shot for last month's C&D (good) debut but kept on well from midfield to take second close home; will make his presence felt if able to build on that performance today.

Hasn't built on his promising Ayr debut (6f, good) a year ago, but may have needed last month's reappearance over the same C&D (good to firm; first-time hood); blinkers are given a go this time and he remains unexposed, but a return to 5f is not sure to suit.

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.

Two modest turf runs either side of a cosy 6f AW win in January; still has time on his side but this opening mark doesn't look especially generous.

Cosy Newcastle AW winner (6f novice; 13-8) in January; that form isn't easy to evaluate, the runner-up winning two Class 5 handicaps since, but the odds-on favourite (third) has yet to reappear; carries a penalty for that, and returns to turf as a gelding after a break.
