He is on a hat-trick after making all (odds-on) in small-field handicaps at Nottingham (1m2f, good to firm); handicapper hasn't been going overboard and he holds leading claims once again.

Fair form on his three starts as 2yo, on good to soft on first two occasions, before justifying 11-10 favouritism in a maiden at Newcastle (1m, AW) last month; needs improvement on this handicap debut but it should be forthcoming with this step up in trip.

Prominent racer who showed improvement to win by 4l at Newbury (1m4f, good to soft) in June and followed up at Newmarket (1m6f, good to firm) last month; had just a nose to spare last time and is 5lb higher today but he's clearly progressive and his trainer has won three of the last six runnings.
