Form & Verdict
Left his novice form behind him when winning a 1m nursery here 16 days ago; that race was slowly run until halfway but he showed a good change of gear and should be fine back at 7f; more needed up 4lb all the same.

Dual course winner last October (1m/7f) and he's posted two solid efforts since the cheekpieces went on, including when third of six over this C&D three weeks ago; can go well.

Won two nurseries here (1m/7f) last October and ran his best race since when second of six at Lingfield (1m, AW; first-time cheekpieces) last month; continues to drop down the weights and he's a player if he can build on that last run.

Shaped with plenty of promise in his qualifying runs; best nursery run when chasing home a thriving rival at Newmarket last week (7f, good; clear of the third) and he holds obvious claims off the same mark in this lower grade; AW debut.

Two of her three wins have been over this C&D, the most recent in a steadily run race 26 days ago, form that has since been franked by the second; now just 3lb higher and is considered, but stall 13 doesn't make things easy for this prominent-racer.

Gained a second C&D success in fine style in May; hiked up 10lb but not discredited after a three-month layoff when in the frame at Southwell (7f) and Chester (7.5f) since; this front-runner is very much one to consider back here but has the outside draw.

Has improved since back on turf this year, coming home strongly when making a winning return from a break at Newmarket (1m, good) in June; has run respectably since without progressing and likely needs a shade more kept on a 7lb higher mark than for the win.

Improved with each of his three runs in maiden/novice company, most recently finishing second of ten over C&D ten weeks ago (tongue tied, absent today); gelded prior to his nursery debut; case can be made that he is well treated and his market prominence thus far would suggest he was well thought of early on; interesting.
