Form & Verdict
Beaten a long way on his debut over 7f in June but took a step forward, despite weakening again, when 80-1 and sixth of ten at Windsor (1m, soft) ten days ago; middle-distance pedigree but this drop back in trip should help for now.

J: Daniel Tudhope

T: Ed Dunlop

Won a tidy six-runner Epsom novice (7f) in September and he built on an encouraging comeback/handicap debut third (also good to soft) last month when going very close at Chester (7.5f, soft) 12 days ago; quicker ground raises a question but he's going the right way and must be factored in.

A fair 7f winner at 2yrs; resumed from eight months off with a very good third of nine on his handicap debut at Nottingham (1m) 24 days ago, leading long way; this Ghaiyyath colt must enter calculations.

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.

Acquitted himself well in smart company on final 2yo starts at 1m and 1m1f; easy to back for handicap debut at Sandown (1m2f, good) ten days ago where he was checked in his run but nevertheless made some progress from off the pace; can go well with the extra distance likely to suit.

Three races, best when third of nine at Haydock (upped to 1m, good to soft) latest; helped to make the running that day; dam 1m5f winner and it looks as if her son will be suited by today's extra 1f; should be seriously involved but debutant Poseidon's Warrior finished just ahead at Haydock.

6,000gns yearling; raced freely when sixth of ten on debut at Kempton (7f, AW; 80-1) one month ago; that wasn't devoid of promise but he'll need to take a sizeable step forward to figure on this turf debut.

Progressive for new stable this season and bids to complete a hat-trick after 1m wins at Bath (good) and Lingfield (AW); his tendency to race too freely remains a nagging concern but he could plausibly have more improvement to come over this new trip; obvious contender.
