Form & Verdict
Lost out only narrowly to a next-time-out winner on debut at Kempton (7f, AW) in October and probably bettered that form when second to another good prospect at Newmarket (7f, good) later that month; upped in trip for this seasonal debut; ought to be hard to beat.

Sole win was at 1-4 in a novice race but competitive every time, in valuable handicaps over 1m and 1m2f on last two outings (good to firm); latest was at Royal Ascot (10-1) where he had the widest draw and mostly raced widest but kept on in fifth of 16 (Evanesco nearly 2l behind in seventh); that did not look the ideal run of the race and he's probably set for better still.

Reappeared at 1-4 with a ready novice win; 2-1 favourite when good fourth of 14 for the rearranged Silver Bowl at Carlisle (also 1m on good to firm) three weeks ago on handicap debut, making inroads too late but that experience of a hot handicap at right-handed track could stand him in good stead and, in accordance with the dam's side, 1m2f now looks well worth exploring.

Runner-up last October on both 2yo starts (7f, AW/good), on the second occasion in a novice at Newmarket that has worked out very well; reappeared with a ready win at 1-4 in Wetherby novice (1m, good to firm) and there's every chance that this unexposed colt will be better than today's opening mark.

Form & Verdict
Well-bred gelding who bettered low-key 2yo debut when respectable fourth of seven at Ayr (1m, good to soft) in September; should have more improvement to come this year but a minor role may be his best hope here.

Fifth of ten at Newbury (1m, soft) in October on debut but he's not lived up to that promise in his two races since; admittedly 16-1 for last month's Wetherby reappearance (1m, good to firm) behind an odds-on stablemate; this is also a new trip for handicap debut, representing a powerful yard.

Cosy winner of bumper (good) on debut; had wind surgery after a moderate hurdle debut and, following a couple of fair Flat runs, he caught his rivals on the hop when making all over 7f at Carlisle (soft) 26 days ago; has more to prove off his opening mark but should have some potential.
