Form & Verdict

Seven-race maiden for two different yards and he was well below form at Kempton (6f, AW) last month; dropped another 3lb but he's been up and down so far and others are more convincing; stablemate of Guernsey Lady.

Showed some ability over sprint trips as a 2yo; no immediate improvement for handicapping when seventh 12 weeks ago (7f, good to soft) but that was at Goodwood and in a Class 5; this is weaker and market support would look significant.

Made some progress in each of his runs last season (5f/6f) and was always likely to be seen to better effect once entering handicaps; this step up in trip should be a further plus; the market could be revealing after a lengthy break.

Kept to 5f since late November, winning on Chelmsford AW and at Bath (good), but he kept on well when going down narrowly over 5f on this track (winner has gone in again since) in June and now looks worth another go at 6f; good claims.

Off the mark with a 5f win at Chelmsford in December; added a turf success at Bath in April (5f, good) and he is only 2lb higher today; two defeats since have come in stronger company and Billy Loughnane has been on board for both wins (from three rides on him); good chance.

By Expert Eye; fourth foal; half-brother to winners Major Blue (5f turf/6f AW; RPR 76) and Blue Cable (6f AW; 62); dam unplaced at 5f/6f on AW as 2yo (37), closely related to 5f Listed winner Speed Cop, out of disqualified Nunthorpe winner Blue Siren; from a strong yard and needs a check for market strength, in what's surely not a strong race.

Narrowly won a Catterick novice (5f, soft) for Robert Cowell last October and has performed with credit in four handicaps on good to firm ground since returning in May, the last three for this yard; return to a soft surface not a problem and should again go well for triple-handed stable.

Landed a maiden at Catterick (5f, soft) last October and eyecatching handicap debut when beaten a head at Bath (5.5f, good) on seasonal return in May despite being unruly beforehand; left Robert Cowell subsequently; satisfactory stable debut when third of seven at Windsor (5f, good to firm) three weeks ago; needs to settle better but should not be far away.
