Form & Verdict
Prominent racer; improved run by run, off the mark at Beverley in June (7.4f, good to firm) and following up at Lingfield (7f, good to soft) six weeks ago; while visually impressive on the latter occasion, he enjoyed the benefit of leading up the stands' rail and the form has taken some knocks since; may well do better but such progress looks a must off this opening mark.

2yo Listed winner in France (1m, very soft) and, having been gelded, he was back on song at Ripon (1m, good to firm) last month when first past the post (demoted to third due to interference); slow ground would hold no fears but it was a small field last time and this race is much hotter.

All runs over 6f, placed at Goodwood and this track before seeing off his 14 rivals at Glorious Goodwood 23 days ago (good ground); saw that race out well and his pedigree offers further encouragement for the step up in trip; widest stall is not helpful, but otherwise plenty to like for the stable that won this in 2021 and 2023.

OR: 77

Form & Verdict
Off the mark at the fifth attempt when winning a 7f maiden at Newcastle (AW) eight weeks ago; while that was a cosy success, it was a race restricted to Band D juveniles and this is much more challenging.

Second on debut at Haydock (7f, good) in May, when he jumped a shadow close home; not so good twice since but a gelding operation and the addition of a visor could prompt extra now he's handicapping.

0-6 but has run well in all three nurseries, including over C&D and when second to Big Song at Newmarket latest (1m, good; beaten about 3l); he's 4lb better off with Big Song today and could be the better suited of the pair by this return to 7f; blinkers replace cheekpieces; might not be far away.

0-5 but positive performances in this visor in his two nurseries (7f, good to firm/good to soft), most recently keeping on for second at Doncaster (albeit no match for the winner); 1m is worth a go; might not be far away.

Improvement was not required when winning a weak 7f maiden here last month (Inspectre 1l behind and 2lb better off today); has since finished last of nine in a Southwell handicap and he could prove vulnerable again.

Very in and out since coming back as a gelding this year but he ran with credit at Beverley (good to soft) in April and again at Chester (also 7.5f, soft) in June; modest in last two outings, however, and cheekpieces are now deployed; unpredictable.
