Form & Verdict
Comfortably held in small field on his debut at Salisbury (7f, good to firm) in July but the winner's Group class and there was more to like when second of eight at Yarmouth (6f, good to soft) three weeks ago; came up against a good one that day too; big player on AW debut.

Won 6f maiden on Newcastle AW as 2yo for previous yard but has found it a mighty struggle since, without and with headgear (first-time visor today); has much to prove over this stiff test and needs more weight off back.

Won a Newcastle maiden (6f, Tapeta) for George Boughey last October, but he's struggled in four runs for new yard this year; continues to drop down the weights but he needs a major revival back on AW; blinkers removed.

Has shown promise all three starts, losing two places near the finish when fourth of ten at Newcastle (7f, AW; subsequently gelded) on latest; should be suited by today's drop back to 6f; remains open to improvement and commands plenty of respect.

Form & Verdict
Mayson filly who belied her 66-1 starting price when keeping on for second at Southwell (5f, Tapeta) in August; she was a bit of a handle in the preliminaries that day and should do better with that debut behind her; step up in trip could be a plus too; not ruled out.

Neck second at Newcastle (5f, AW) last time rates a clear career best, and a 3lb rise doesn't look prohibitive; yet to see out a galloping 6f completely convincingly, albeit not having yet tried to on going as quick as today's.
