Form & Verdict
String of defeats at short prices, including in nurseries on his last two starts, but about sets the standard back into maiden company; there shouldn't be any excuses this time for a yard that's won this twice in recent seasons.

9st 13lb

J: Billy Loughnane

T: George Boughey

Expensive to follow in first seven starts but he's scored in cheekpieces in two of his last three runs, including a comfortable success at Pontefract (6f, soft) last Monday; this is tougher under a penalty but he's open to more progress and is versatile ground-wise; big player.

Had been expensive to follow but first-time cheekpieces did the trick when a clearcut winner at Brighton (maiden over an extended 5f; good); now 5lb higher than when narrowly held in his two previous handicaps but that rise is erased by Jack Callan's claim; soft ground a first.

Consistent yet frustrating sort who has a habit of finishing second and has been a beaten favourite on four occasions; comes with some risk but first-time headgear may enable him to go one better.

Gelded 6,000euros foal who's a half-brother to two winners, notably last season's Windsor Castle fourth Weissmuller; yard going well but far from noted for 2yos (1-38 in recent times) and the market will show what's expected.

Failed to beat a rival home on his debut at Bath (5.5f, firm) last year but stepped forward from that when a 3l second of eight at Yarmouth (6f, soft; winner has won again since) last month; that was his first start for ten months and he's shortlisted on his AW debut.

T: Clive Cox

The Bath maiden (5.3f, firm) he won on debut in August wasn't an especially strong event but he was well on top at the finish; failed to build on it in a sales race at Newmarket one week later but he was sent off the 7-2 second favourite and wasn't well drawn; capable of better and should be involved despite a penalty and a wide draw.

The horse he beat last week at Bath (extended 5f, firm) is now 0-7 but this colt won well and represents Clive Cox who excels in these races (had the winner at York on Thursday); seven days is a quick reappearance but has to be respected.

Shaped well at a big price on his C&D debut, when best of the rest behind an easy winner, but didn't build on it here a fortnight ago; trainer just 1-34 with 2yos this season and low-grade nurseries may give him his chance to shine after tonight.

Broadly consistent in handicaps, mostly on AW, until below par returned to turf last time when too free over 1m2f; return to 1m looks a good move but he's still seeking first turf win.
