Eight-race maiden who has been well held since his debut fifth at Doncaster last July; makes stable debut but others have stronger claims.

Both starts over 6f, better effort when fourth of six at Yarmouth (good to firm) latest when shaping as if this drop in trip is worth exploring; could take another step forward.

Won over 1m at Windsor on good to firm before following up here on good to soft; those were the peaks of his career and he's fallen away in his last two races.

Disappointing at Windsor last time when ahead of the assessor and bidding to take record since upped to 1m to 3-3; too soon to write him off at this distance but task is made harder by revised mark taking effect.

Finished close-up in two 5f novices (good to firm/good) prior to his fourth on nursery debut at Windsor (6f, good to soft) three weeks ago, when shaping as though the return to 5f would suit; not ruled out.

Form figures of 321 in novice/maiden events but he kicked off his nursery career with a tame effort at Windsor (5f; cheekpieces added) last month; still early days but he needs to resume his progress to make a serious impact.

9st 8lb

J: Hollie Doyle

T: Archie Watson

Upset in the stalls on his intended third start (withdrawn) and gelded soon afterwards; showed plenty of pace either side of that when second at Brighton (5f, good to firm) and narrowly winning a novice at Musselburgh (5f, good) ten days ago; could still prove capable of better with cheekpieces enlisted on this handicap debut.

Form & Verdict
Turned over at odds-on in Yarmouth contest (good) last time but again ran creditably on the figures and has proved consistent (223) over 5f since unplaced debut effort (6f); helps to set the standard.

J: Rob Hornby

T: David O’Meara

No penalty for winning a weak apprentice handicap at Beverley last Tuesday but she scrambled home at a big price there and is unlikely to go up much anyway; now has to back it up and doubt she'd want rain (taken out on good to soft ground recently).
