Form & Verdict
Improved with each of his three starts, most recently picked off by Fighter's Spirit in the dying strides at Beverley 18 days ago (1m2f, good); 7lb better off today for half a length but he isn't guaranteed to turn the tables on his less-exposed rival.

8st 11lb

J: Oisin Murphy

T: Andrew Balding

Acts on good to firm; placed over 1m2f on first four starts this season, before comfortably justifying 4-6 favouritism in a 11.6f novice at Lingfield on latest outing; this unchanged, opening handicap mark seems to demand more but he may have more to offer at this sort of trip.

J: Callum Hutchinson

T: Andrew Balding

Placed in all four starts over 1m2f since returning in April, the latest when beaten under a length into second of six at Redcar (good to firm); consistent rather than progressive but, given he is bred to stay, this step up in trip may prove the key.

Beaten four times and more consistent than progressive; however, he's got the best form of these and looks sure to have a major say.

Form & Verdict
Not seen to best effect in a 7f Kempton maiden nine months ago but shaped with clear promise; gelded since; longer trip should be in his favour but he will need to improve to take this; stable also run Cape Fear.

Unexposed 3yo; off the mark in a Lingfield maiden last time (1m2f; soft); this step up in trip may well suit him and could go well on handicap debut.

He's shown ability on all three starts, most recently beaten just under 3l when a front-running fourth of 12 at Leicester (1m2f, good to firm; unraced on softer); he's one to consider.

Has shown ability, albeit without threatening, on his two starts (7f/1m2f, AW/good to firm); improvement is necessary today but he's in good hands and may be able to take a step forward at some point; not discounted.
