Form & Verdict
Top-class pedigree as a son of Dubawi and of a winning half-sister to Enable; sent off the 100-30 favourite for last month's C&D debut (soft) and ran on well for a close third after turning for home in last place; the first and fourth horses haven't done wonders for the form since but that was a highly promising start.

Promising third on debut at Sandown (7f, soft) in August then easily won three-runner maiden there (1m, soft); carries a 7lb penalty this afternoon but still stands out as the one to beat for his top yard.

Form & Verdict
120,000gns yearling; first foal; dam unplaced 1m2f-1m4f (RPR 76), half-sister to winners Expand The Map (US 1m) and Sacred Oath (10.6f); stable won this with a newcomer two years ago but this colt will need to be pretty useful to floor Accredit who looks above average.

No wins in four but he's useful and beat all bar subsequent Queen's Vase fourth Point Of Law over 1m2f at Newbury in mid-May; led that day and should put up another bold show.

Has improved with each start, finishing second of nine on his Nottingham reappearance (1m2f, good) last month (third has since won easily); big player.

OR:

Form & Verdict
Both runs over 7f; seventh behind the subsequent Acomb (Group 3) winner at Newbury (good to firm) but finished a lot closer to the runner-up when third at Kempton (AW) where he ran on encouragingly from off the pace; shouldn't remain a maiden for long.

J: Rossa Ryan

T: Alan King

Showed some fair form in three starts over 7f/1m as a 2yo, but comfortably held on handicap debut at York (1m2f, good) last month; may have needed the run after 248 days off, so too early to be giving up on him.

J: Luke Catton

Fair form at Kempton (7f, AW) and Sandown (1m, soft; three ran) on his last two starts as 2yo and he shaped as if he'd prove capable of better, including at this trip; one to note on handicap/seasonal debut.
