Maiden who offered more at Wolverhampton (7.2f) last month before running as well as could have been expected at the weights in a 6f claimer there last Thursday (first-time blinkers; retained); better treated on turf and not out of this.

J: Silvestre De Sousa

T: Martin Dunne

He has shown promise on AW, including a fourth of 13 on his stable debut in May, and two defeats on turf since are probably not the races to judge him on; still has potential on this surface.

Form & Verdict
Last of seven on debut in a valuable maiden at Ascot (6f, good) but posted a much improved effort at Sandown (5f, good) two weeks ago, running on to snatch second late on; should go well if seeing out this extra two furlongs on AW debut.

Made it 3-4 for the year when winning at Leicester (7f, good to firm) in April and bounced back from a lesser run on soft ground with another win at Sandown last month (7f, good; Kimbara second); had just half a length to spare but he had to wait for a clear run and all of his wins have been by narrow margins; could still be ahead of the handicapper up 3lb.
