Form & Verdict
Record of 343 since being gelded features good efforts in maiden/nursery at major summer festivals; beaten favourite at Thirsk (again over 6f) most recently but in this field he's perhaps worth another chance.

J: Ashley Lewis

T: Ed Walker

Best effort when getting off the mark on turf at Windsor (6f, good to firm) in June; lost his chance at the start next time and then seemed to find things happening too quickly over Goodwood's sharp 5f; today's stiffer track should be in his favour, and we may not have seen the best of him yet.

All races at about 6f, looking likely to find his feet at an even better level when beating a fair type at Windsor (good to firm) in June; lost his chance at the start at Newmarket since and remains one to be interested in; however, this very quick 5f may be an eye-opener for him.

Well-connected gelding; justified short odds in 6f AW maiden as 2yo; made a fairly ordinary reappearance but he was much better for it when winning at Windsor (6f, good to firm) in early June, coming through to beat a useful type at this level; up 4lb but can achieve more.

Modest maiden after six races; down the field in her first two handicaps (5f/6f); better when third of six at Yarmouth on latest start, despite it looking as if she did not stay 1m; either way, she still needs better.

Four starts, one each at 5f, 6f, 7f and 1m; best form by some way when second over this trip at Chelmsford (AW; 40-1) on second go for Anthony Carson, which could be a straw to clutch at, but form in a maiden and handicap for this yard leaves her with work to do.

Both starts over 6f on turf, finishing second at Ripon then running below market expectations at Newbury; one of the main players provided he's back to debut form, and may yet progress.
