Won a maiden at Chelmsford (AW) in February and followed up in a Lingfield (AW) novice next time; well held in three handicaps since and returns to turf for the first time since his debut having been dropped another 3lb.

Won two 6f events on Polytrack in February; unplaced in both handicaps though and his latest 2lb drop isn't enough to tempt.

J: Luke Morris

T: Archie Watson

All four runs over 6f; dead-heated in a Chelmsford maiden and narrowly defied a penalty here in a novice that's worked out well; made an underwhelming handicap debut at Southwell but he's back at Lingfield with cheekpieces added and well drawn to boot.

Form & Verdict
Showed some ability in three starts over 5f/6f on turf for Jessica Harrington last year and he posted an improved effort when beaten a neck in a handicap at Kempton on his AW/yard debut last month (also his first start since being gelded); returns to maiden company with solid claims.

Clearly happier on Polytrack than turf and arrives in good form, having backed up his 7f win here with an unlucky third (behind Berkshire Boom) over C&D three weeks ago (first try at the trip; 2lb better off today); needs considering.

Added to his Chelmsford maiden win in February when finishing well to score from a wide draw here (7f) 12 days ago; only 2lb higher than for that success and he's a big player again on this step up to 1m.

J: Owen Lewis

T: Michael Attwater

Sole win from ten starts was a dead-heat in a Chelmsford maiden (6f, AW) in February; has had some struggles in handicaps since but he ran well to finish fourth over C&D two weeks ago; has possibilities if he can build on that but a wide draw is no help.

Form & Verdict
Beaten 19l when fifth of 13 behind subsequent Group 2 runner-up Into The Sky on his debut at Newbury in August before being placed on the AW at Lingfield and Wolverhampton on his next two starts; gelded since last seen 131 days ago and holds good claims.

Made all in a Wolverhampton novice (6f, AW) in June and he's finished runner-up on his last two starts, including when wearing first-time cheekpieces in a handicap over this C&D three weeks ago; well drawn to sit handy and has claims.

Dam won four times in Argentina including two Group 2s on dirt (1m); 40-1 shot on debut at Chelmsford (6f) but she made some late headway and was beaten only about 3l in fourth last month; that form isn't strong but she should know more this time and is a possible improver up in trip.
