Both runs over 7f at Haydock, the first more encouraging than the second; the debut run gives him good form claims if he can repeat it dropped back to 6f.

J: Jack Callan

T: S Woods

Remains a maiden after 13 starts and comes with a risk attached having been very slowly away at Kempton last time; however, he was in good form previously, finishing third at Kempton (7f) then second over this C&D, and he's a leading contender if breaking on terms.

0-12 but runner-up five times and went down by a nose and a neck following a gelding operation here two starts ago (form boosted since); this kind of trip has stretched him in the past, though; jockey Katrine Holm seeks first winner.

No wins in 11 but his first run after a gelding operation and in a tongue-tie when going down narrowly in a close finish at Kempton (7f); mark untouched so every chance with a repeat.

3 yo Colt

OR:

Form & Verdict
Fifth of 11 on his York debut (6f, good) in May last year and third of six at Hamilton (6f, good) the following month, but off since (gelded in the meantime); closely related to a Tapeta winner and worth monitoring in the market; hood worn on both previous starts now removed.
