Form & Verdict
Eighth of 18 on Newbury debut in a race that could barely have worked out better; gelded afterwards and was noticeably strong in the market at Ascot (6f, good; 13-8) where he raced close to the pace before running on best; the runner-up was fourth in yesterday's Convivial at York and the third also ran well in defeat at Newbury last week; the one to beat.

Very useful 6f gelding whose last two performances suggest he's perhaps ready for this drop to 5f; may yet tap back into the progress that culminated in Mill Reef success at Newbury (good to soft); leading player, even with 5lb penalty, on return from another layoff.

Maiden; progress stalled on AW but 7f was too far for him in March and he can't be ruled out on his most recent turf run, when finishing strongly to be second of nine at Yarmouth (6f, good) in October; possibilities.

Value rose from 130,000euros as a foal to 550,000gns as a yearling; 100-30 at Pontefract (6f, good to firm) and appeared to have it in the bag until getting moved down by a fellow newcomer who has since come up short under a penalty (still showed improved form); clearly capable of winning a race of this nature.

Sole win from six starts came in a Southwell maiden (7f, AW) in December and he posted a solid effort there over 6f in first-time cheekpieces two weeks ago, bouncing back from some lesser efforts on turf; headgear is retained but he needs to build on that latest outing.

Forged clear in a Southwell maiden (7f, Tapeta) towards the end of last year but he was disappointing on handicap debut at Wetherby (7f, good to firm; 4-1) in April; has bit to prove again after that 8l defeat and his standout form was on his sole AW run.

Beaten 13l on debut but typically for one from this yard he was better second time at Sandown (5f, good) where he was under 4l away despite a troubled run; improvement looks on the cards, though might be one for handicaps.
