Form & Verdict
55,000euros breeze-up purchase; never far away when beaten just under 4l at Yarmouth (1m1f, good to soft) and the two ahead of him had the benefit of experience; leading chance on the figures and he should improve.

0-7 but he ran well upped to 1m4f when a staying-on second in an Epsom handicap (good to firm) last week; hit a personal best behind an unexposed rival in that race and he's respected off the same mark.

Promising third on Yarmouth debut (1m1f, good to soft) last September but he's been well held in four subsequent runs including three on dirt at Meydan during the winter; now goes handicapping after a gelding operation but he needs a transformation back on turf.

Second to Magnetude at Chester (1m4f, good) in May on handicap debut; 10-11 for seven-runner race at Newbury (1m4f, good to soft) on latest outing but drawing 4l clear represented improved form and gave plenty of hope for 1m6f; up 7lb but considered for yard which also runs Hard To Believe.

Won Wolverhampton novice (9.4f, AW) in January on fourth start and returned from break with close second on handicap debut at Chester (1m4f, good) last month; only third of four at Wolverhampton (1m4f, AW) but that was still a good run and he could be in the shake-up today.

Made heavy weather of it when landing a 9.4f novice here in January (2-5 favourite); better in form terms when second of eight in a Chester handicap three weeks ago (extended 1m4f, good; Galilean Quality third) but he looked a tricky ride in the straight, hanging both ways; has the ability to deal with a 3lb rise but there are reservations.

Third foal of a well-related 1m2f winner; weak 9-1 shot and she made a low-key start when sixth of eight at Beverley (7.4f, soft) two weeks ago; should know more this time but she needs major improvement upped in trip.
