Travelled well when second over an extended 7f at Ffos Las (heavy) on debut and, dropped to 6f, he comfortably land the odds at Pontefract (good to soft) 16 days later; this demands a lot more but he does looks sure to improve again.

April foal by Lope Y Fernandez; 52,000gns yearling; half-brother to winners Kullazain (Group-placed 5f 2yo; RPR 96) and Swayze (5f/6f including 2yo/AW; 94); dam 5f 2yo winner (82), half-sister to useful/prolific 5f/6f winner Mokaatil, out of Listed-placed 6f 2yo winner; bred more for speed on the dam's side, but the stable's newcomers always have to be respected; market informative.

Much his best effort when second in a Pontefract maiden (6f, good to soft) last September; well below that level in four subsequent starts and is plummeting in the handicap; cheekpieces need to have a positive effect.

Weak in the market and sent off at 11-1 when seventh of nine on last month's debut at Ripon (6f, good), beaten nearly 6l; considerable improvement is needed if he's to threaten this afternoon.

Dropped to 5f at Newcastle 12 days ago and made all to register his first success; has a 4lb rise to overcome in a deeper race but he should be fine at 6f and is unexposed.

0-3 and vulnerable if bumping into anything useful but he's finished in the first three on all three starts (6f, good/good to firm) and his form is as good as anything the others have achieved; in the picture.

Stepped up from 6f to turnover a long odds-on favourite in a match race over 1m at Leicester (good to firm) 15 days ago; hard to be certain of the worth of that form but his rival had been in form with two wins prior to that and this son of Kodiac is unexposed at the new trip.

Made low-key seasonal/handicap debut when midfield at Thirsk (6f, good) three weeks ago and is now 0-5 as a sprinter; might have needed that recent outing and this new trip could plausibly unlock improvement.

Put in place by main market rival when second of four at Market Rasen (2m, good; raced too freely) last month but beat a next-time-out winner when scoring on hurdle debut at Hexham (2m, good) a few days earlier and has obvious claims here.

60-rated on the Flat; won the first juvenile hurdle of the season at Hexham (2m, good; 3-1) last Saturday, a race which also featured Cracking Anna (fourth) and Steel Fixer (pulled up); should confirm his superiority over those rivals despite the incurred 7lb penalty.
