Form & Verdict
650,000gns breeze-up purchase; fourth at Newbury (7f, good to soft) last month and he built on that when justifying 4-9 favouritism in a five-runner maiden here (7f, good) four weeks ago, making virtually all to score by a neck; has 7lb penalty and 7lb claimer is enlisted; speedy pedigree bolsters hopes that he can adapt to 6f.

He was stuck in the placings when running well this spring and again couldn't quite put it to bed when runner-up at Chester (6f, soft; acts on quicker) a fortnight ago; mark is creeping up but it would be no surprise to see him in the thick of it once more.

More than capable of winning a similar race judged on his three handicap runs this year, latterly a second of 12 in a Class 4 at Thirsk 12 days ago (5f, good; third-placed horse has won since); handles good to soft but untried on slower; solid contender.

Son of Pinatubo who has shaped with promise when third on both his starts this season, not enjoying a clear passage when third of 14 in 5f Beverley handicap 27 days ago; a likely player off an unchanged mark.

Form & Verdict
9-2 for novice at York (6f, good) three weeks ago and showed plenty of pace, travelling best long way before fading into third of eight; he has a form chance on that and it was a promising debut.

J: Oisin Murphy

Consistent in first four starts, including an AW 5f win in November, but he took it up a notch when a neck second of 19 at Ascot (6f, good) seven weeks ago; raised 5lb but he's a leading contender.

Consistent in four starts, including win at Newcastle (5f) in November and when second to Arry Up at Kempton (6f, also AW; stumbled start) on handicap debut/reappearance one month ago; acts on turf and shouldn't be far away from same mark.

Finished a remote last of five runners at Newmarket (6f; 66-1) on sole 2yo run; not sure to stay this far on pedigree and ordinary handicaps are likely to be the aim; has lots to prove.
