Form & Verdict
Looked a useful prospect when successful on his belated debut at Thirsk (1m, good) last month but found out in better company when seventh of eight at Goodwood (1m1f, good to soft) two weeks ago; back in grade and carries a 7lb penalty but is the benchmark for the rest of the field.

J: Harry Burns

T: William Haggas

Low-mileage 5yo who won for Sean Woods on his belated debut at Thirsk (1m, good) last July; not blatantly well treated on the balance of his form (including 1m2f/1m1f handicaps) but now makes his debut for a top trainer having changed hands for 65,000gns; has to be of strong interest.

Won on debut at Thirsk (1m, good) in July and returned to form when second in Yarmouth novice (1m, good to firm) last month; ran respectably when fourth of nine on handicap debut at Doncaster (1m2f, soft) and this very lightly raced 4yo could have more to offer, but others make greater appeal.

Caused a surprise when winning here (7f, good to firm; 25-1) on his debut in July last year; off since and presumably he's had issues; needs to hit the ground running.

J: Oisin Murphy

T: Andrew Balding

Impressed when winning two fast-ground novices at Yarmouth (7f/1m) just over a year apart; too keen when sixth to Zeus Olympios in 1m Group races at Haydock (led) and Newmarket (held up) in the autumn; has switched from Tom Dascombe to Andrew Balding ahead of reappearance (same owners); also gelded which could help to settle him down; Double Rush's exploits this spring underline the yard's prowess with new recruits and this one has similar potential.

J: Oisin Murphy

Unbeaten in two fast-ground novices at Yarmouth just over a year apart, impressing with the way he drew clear late on over 1m in August; up in grade but went off too hard when fading to finish sixth behind Zeus Olympios in Haydock Group 3 (1m, good) three weeks ago; bundles to find but he's the type to run above himself on a track that might favour speed; hood added.

T: Tom Dascombe

Unbeaten in two fast-ground novices at Yarmouth just over a year apart, impressing with the way he drew clear late on over 1m on return three weeks ago; definitely more to come but this requires a fairly big chunk of improvement; the ground is almost certain to be slower this time but the same connections' useful half-brother Auld Toon Loon is very much at home on good or softer.

Twice tailed off but improved in his other three races, always prominent when off the mark by a neck in ten-runner handicap at Redcar (1m2f, good to soft) two weeks ago; wore cheekpieces last four starts; up 4lb today but he found more when challenged last time and there may have been more in the tank.

Has been all or nothing in four starts, two tailed-off runs mixed in with good efforts in a Windsor novice in June and again on handicap debut when third at that track (also 1m, good; 33-1) 16 days ago; some consistency wouldn't go amiss but he finished it off strongly last time and looks interesting going up in trip.
