Very promising debut when 50-1 second in C&D novice (good) in October and heavy ground was a plausible excuse when he underwhelmed next time; scored with authority on his return in Pontefract novice (6f, good to soft) nearly twelve weeks ago; not seen since but this opening mark looks fair and he's much respected.

34,000euros foal, £48,000 yearling; by Invincible Army; second foal; dam Listed-placed 5f/6f winner (including 2yo; RPR 95) from useful family; one of two debutants for connections and the betting could be informative.

Form & Verdict
Gelded after debut then posted consistent efforts over 6f at Pontefract (once) and Hamilton (twice); solid contender and again has place claims, assuming he returns from layoff in similar form.

J: Tom Eaves

T: Kevin Ryan

Yet to win but he has finished second three times in novice/maiden company; cheekpieces have been worn for his three handicap runs and he has finished unplaced, albeit a bit of mid-race interference didn't help his cause over C&D four weeks ago; now drops into a 0-70 and could yet come good.

Down the field on his handicap debut at Beverley (5f, good to soft; first-time cheekpieces) last month but ran a bit better when fourth of 11 at Haydock (6f, soft) 15 days ago; better still needed.

J: Kevin Stott

T: Kevin Ryan

Made it 0-6 when disappointing favourite in first-time cheekpieces (retained) on recent handicap debut at Beverley (5f, good to soft); it's hard to be confident on the back of that but he was runner-up three times previously and is effective on soft ground, so it's too soon to write him off.

Rallying third of eight, faring best of the newcomers, at Redcar (6f, good) in sole 2yo start; similar type to King's Road Dandy and improvement looks possible.

Knocking at the door, finishing runner-up over 6f/7f (good to soft/soft) on his last three outings (handicaps last twice); the step up to 1m ought to be within range but today's likely ground is an unknown.

Knocking at the door and beaten only by the other joint-favourite on handicap debut at Doncaster (6f, good to soft) five weeks ago, rallying; shapes as if this longer trip will be right up his street; major player.

Bombed when among the favourites on comeback and is best judged on his Ripon second a month ago; hard to know the worth of that, however, with him finishing well held by the favourite having led against the rail; market useful.
