Form & Verdict
Well held in first three starts but he looked a different proposition on nursery debut when landing the odds at Ffos Las (6f, good) on Tuesday; has a penalty in this deeper race but he made virtually all for that comfortable success and is open to more progress; big player for yard that won this last year.

T: Ollie Sangster

Improved for the switch to nurseries last summer, winning easily at Ffos Las and Doncaster (both 6f) before finishing off strongly for sixth in a much stronger race at York's Ebor meeting; better than ever when winning a C&D handicap in April and his subsequent fifth of 19 at Ascot was in a Class 4; could still rate higher; key player despite a wider draw than ideal.

More exposed than most but he won third handicap when making all at Wolverhampton (7f, AW; just held on) four weeks ago; also won twice at 6f on sound turf so these conditions should be no problem, but a 4lb rise might be.

Five-race maiden who has not progressed so far and was third of four in a Lingfield nursery (6f, good to soft) last month; wasn't beaten far in that race but he needs improvement on this return to quicker ground.

He had been consistent, rather than progressive, prior to a flop at Doncaster 17 days ago; this is uncompetitive but the drop back in distance isn't sure to be in his favour.

Brother to a fair sprint winner; struggled in two of his three qualifying runs but he showed ability when fourth of ten at Beverley (5f, good to firm) on second start; this is more realistic on nursery debut and he needs checking in market back up in trip.

Improver from low base in maiden/novice company, not beaten far at Lingfield (6f, AW) last time despite seemingly unsuited by the sharp track; been gelded since and has claims if he can take another step with forward with headgear added on nursery debut; withdrawn after getting loose at Ffos Las on Tuesday and was 9-1 at the time.

Has led; 0-9 but he only just failed to hang on in an AW handicap (6f) on final 2yo start and he's run two good races over 7f (good and soft) for new connections this year; very likely to go well back over 6f.

Well held in all five runs, including two 6f nurseries (good/good to firm); his last run may have come too soon but he failed to beat a rival at York and a first-time visor didn't seem to work; plenty to prove.

Pacey filly; has gone well for Jack Nicholls at Thirsk (6f; runner-up) and Beverley (5f; third); seemingly hung her chance away at Beverley but returning to this sharper track (even over 6f) could prove a better fit; likely to give her running and have a say.
