2 yo Gelding

Won two nurseries last year and he's 5lb below his last winning mark, but he's hard to fancy on the evidence of this season's four runs.

J: Charles Bishop

T: Eve Johnson Houghton

Won three times at two, including at Nottingham (6f, good to soft) off 3lb higher in October; he's performed below that level in his three outings this year but latest fifth over 5f here was a bit better and he should be suited by the return to 6f; no shock were he to bounce back to form with a bang.

Form & Verdict
Big chance on the form she showed at Newbury and Newmarket in midsummer (both 6f, good to firm) but she hasn't hit the same heights on her last three starts; sports a first-time hood now switching back to a nursery.

Five-race maiden but was close third in Newbury novice (6f, good to firm) in July and she ran respectably when third of five in a Sandown nursery (7f, soft) 16 days ago; sets a fair standard back in a maiden and yard is 25% with 2yos here in recent years; key player.
