Form & Verdict
In good form in the first half of the year, including wins at Southwell (7f, Tapeta) and Goodwood (1m, good), but has just come up short off similar marks in his last three starts; probably needs a boost from the first-time cheekpieces.

Cavolo Nero

9st 6lb

J: Kaiya Fraser

T: Harry Eustace

Keeps getting better and arrives on a hat-trick after wins at Yarmouth (final start for James Ferguson) and over C&D; heavily backed and quickened smartly to come from the rear and beat seven rivals last time; does not look overburdened by a 5lb rise, and although this is stronger he looks sure to go well again.

His second of 11 over C&D (wore cheekpieces) on reappearance in March was a new high and he bettered that when landing soft-ground Yarmouth handicap (1m) in first-time blinkers in June; off since and no headgear for this stable debut (same owners) but he still commands respect.

J: Hector Crouch

T: Ralph Beckett

The blinkers experiment didn't work in July but he's won both AW outings since his debut, over C&D (maiden) and with authority at Wolverhampton (about 1m; second has won since) last month; hung left there, possibly away from the whip, but a 4lb rise shouldn't be beyond him; respected.

Won over 7f here and at Wetherby (good to firm) earlier in the year, but pulled his chance away on handicap debut at Sandown (7f, good to firm) in July; off 80 days and will need to settle better if he is to see out the extra furlong on his return.
