J: Cieren Fallon

T: William Knight

Made the breakthrough when scoring at Wolverhampton (7f, Tapeta) in June; well held in six subsequent runs, but he's had some traffic issues in two of his last three starts and his latest assignment was a tough task behind a handicap blot; now back on his winning mark and has possibilities if he gets the breaks.

Got off the mark when scoring over C&D in June off 2lb lower; denied a run at a crucial stage at Southwell (6f, AW) last month and badly hampered over C&D on Friday; can go close if he gets the breaks.

Hasn't progressed as might have been expected since his handicap debut success at Doncaster (1m2f, good to firm) but has posted consistent RPRs, including when fifth of 11 at Pontefract (1m2f, good) 13 days ago; shaped on that occasion as if worth another go at 1m4f; considered.

Has form figures of 3112 and that latest second was a close call in a Redcar handicap (1m2f, good to firm) last month; now goes up in trip and grade and but he's only 1lb higher than last time and he should have more to offer; dangerous.

Good start when fourth of five but only beaten about 2l on his debut at Sandown (7f, good to firm) in July and was demoted from first for interference back there (1m, good) the following month; has been gelded and looks very difficult to oppose; AW debut.

Only seventh of nine on debut at Haydock (1m, good) last month but went off a solid 11-8 favourite and this 475,000gns yearling should be capable of considerably better; probably one of few threats to Corinth.

Cheekpieces on for first time when getting off the mark over C&D in June; has posted solid efforts to make the frame at Ayr (1m2f) and Southwell (1m3f) since; tried in different headgear here (visor goes on) and may still do better given he remains quite lightly raced.

Found an ordinary Wolverhampton handicap when winning in first-time cheekpieces off 2lb lower two months ago; easy to back on turf last time, when running to a similar level, and today's extra furlong won't hurt on that evidence.
