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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
