Form & Verdict
Better with each of his four runs, all over 7f, latterly when not beaten far into fourth on his nursery debut early in the month; trainer's strike-rate with 2yos is up this season and he's one to consider in an open-looking affair.

Won a Southwell handicap (1m, AW) last September and he's held his form with five creditable efforts since; ridden more prominently than previously when going down only narrowly at Yarmouth (1m, good to firm) under Cieren Fallon a fortnight ago; should remain competitive after a 2lb nudge.

Better since handicapping in cheekpieces (off today), going close at Leicester before inclined to over-race from the outside stall upped to this trip latest (Polytrack); holds decent claims as long as he settles better this time.

Came away with a subsequent dual winner on his nursery debut off 4lb lower last month; hard to know what happened when a detached last of five next time (no explanation offered) and it will be interesting to see how he goes in the market on AW debut.

Has a patchy profile but he's won two of his last four starts including a last-gasp success at Brighton (1m2f, good to firm) two weeks ago; only 2lb higher here and he's a big player again if he can back that up.

Slightly disappointing on both starts since emphatic success at Hamilton (1m1f, good to soft) in June and still needs to prove he's effective on fast ground but his current mark is workable and he can't be ruled out.

Trainer boasts an ordinary recent record with 2yos (0-10 with them here all told) but this filly has offered some hope, latterly when best of the rest behind a progressive winner on Polytrack; needs to find a bit more for the longer trip.

Half-sister to two 1m4f winners, including here (Fibresand), who should appreciate the extra furlong now entering nursery company; will need to improve a touch on her three 7f turf efforts back from seven weeks off though.
