0-10 but he has posted some solid efforts on the AW; below his best at Southwell (7f, AW) 26 days ago and the switch back to turf isn't sure to suit; cheekpieces now added.

Solid in the market but he looked in need of the experience when fourth of 12 in a 7f novice at Kempton 16 days ago; stable's juveniles can take a big step forward from their debut and he's a leading contender.

Improvement required judged on his August efforts (7f) but combination of physical tweak (wind surgery) and first-time hood may prompt progress; yard also runs Lighting Thunder.

Showed a consistent level when placed on all three starts (7f/1m) on a variety of surfaces last year; enters handicaps on his reappearance having been gelded and this opening mark is probably fair.

Clear second behind a well-touted Godolphin newcomer at Newmarket (7f, good to firm) and that RPR of 81 is the best on show here; connections presumably not fazed by running him on slower ground here.

Won a Newbury novice (7f, good to soft) for Richard Hannon last September but that was a shock at 125-1 and he's not gone on from that in two handicaps since; still lightly raced but he was out the back on recent stable debut at Beverley (first run since gelded) and others are preferred.

Left his first two runs (1m, good/heavy) miles behind to win at 125-1 at Newbury (7f, good to soft) three weeks ago; has an attractive pedigree, so that latest performance is unlikely to be a one-off, and he has the potential to be better than this opening mark.

Won handicaps in May on the other course here and at Carlisle (both 1m on good to firm) but the rise in the weights and grade proved a step too far behind Moonfall in the Britannia at Royal Ascot; another tall order here.
