J: David Egan

T: Ralph Beckett

Went close on debut at Doncaster (1m, soft) last September then kept on well to win a 1m maiden here (good) in October; this is a much stiffer test of his credentials but his dam is from a classy family and he's in excellent hands; entered in the Dante and Derby and could be set for big 3yo campaign.

Tongue tied first time and improved when comfortably off the mark in a novice at Chepstow (1m2f, good to firm) in May, leading over 2f out; handicap debut was a tough task at Royal Ascot (1m2f; 20-1) and he tailed off having led 7f; dropped 2lb and early days.

Fair maiden who has been running well in handicaps this year, making the frame on four of his five starts; has the edge on experience and goes without cheekpieces worn on last three starts; should win sooner or later.

Third at Nottingham (1m, soft) on second start last October and not discredited when 25-1 in a novice won under Sorin Moldoveanu by a much shorter-priced stablemate at Southwell (1m4f, AW) on April reappearance; 575,000gns yearling whose dam was useful over 1m4f+, so all in all he needs a close look on handicap debut.

Suggy

J: Harry Vigors

T: Charles Hills

Third AW success in his last four starts when comfortably on top over the extended 1m at Wolverhampton eight days ago; he does need to prove he's as effective on turf (0-5 but was second in a nursery on soft last year) but he had them well strung out at Dunstall Park and could still be well treated even after a further 7lb rise.

Three AW efforts better than his five turf runs, latterly when comfortably beating a subsequent winner over C&D early in the month; a 6lb rise demands more but he may well be up to it.
