Left Ralph Beckett after 1m2f Redcar novice win (good to soft) in October; that form has not been reached in her five handicaps since, most at 1m but never dangerous latest when back up to 1m4f at Thirsk; others preferred.

J: Robert Havlin

T: John & Thady Gosden

Chased home a better-fancied stablemate (who is now BHA rated 88) on his Kempton debut last September and then bumped into another smart sort at Ascot on his second run; his four subsequent defeats have come at odds of 30-100 (again behind a progressive rival), Evs, 8-11 and 6-4 and although he should stay this longer trip well, the fact more new headgear is tried suggests he has his quirks; still of interest on handicap debut.

Two wins from five starts since joining Hayley Burton, with both the wins over 1m4f on Lingfield Polytrack (dictated the pace on penultimate start); back to turf for a lesser show on Saturday; while not dismissed due to this new trip, it is a sizeable step in the dark.

Form & Verdict
200,000gns yearling who was bought unraced for 5,000gns last October; outran his odds when 100-1 second to a stable companion of Military Cross at Newcastle on debut earlier this month (1m2f); that form slightly suspect as two of the three market leaders underperformed; improvement likely and an each-way chance.

Didn't live up to market expectations on handicap debut in April (1m, AW), when he reared at the start, but this very lightly raced 5yo showed what he is capable of when second at Beverley (8.4f, good to firm) three weeks ago, when denied a clear run; unproven on slow ground; on the shortlist.
