Form & Verdict
500,000gns yearling; well backed ahead of his 7f debut (soft) last backend, when inclined to pull hard and not seeing it out behind a useful rival; built on that on his 6f AW comeback here, when impressive from the front; plenty of potential and holds a Group 1 entry.

J: David Egan

T: George Scott

Progressive sprinter who took his form to a new level with an easy Listed win in France (6f, good to firm) four weeks ago; that took his 6f record to 3-3 and he remains capable of better; major player despite his penalty.

J: David Egan

T: George Scott

Promise on 2yo debut (7f, soft) here last September; returned from 227 days off to win a 6f AW Lingfield maiden by daylight in April and followed up at the same track one month later; found things happening a bit too quickly for him when thrown into the lion's den in the King Charles III here last month but he was drawn lower than ideal; this should be more manageable and he remains a sprinter of interest.

9st 1lb

J: David Egan

T: George Scott

Wide-margin winner of both 6f starts, on Lingfield AW and in a turf novice on that course; has potential but also a mighty task trying to cross the chasm into a Group 1 against the pros on first 5f run.

Form & Verdict
Easily beat his main market rival (subsequent winner) on AW debut here last autumn; inclined to pull hard and said to have hung left when well beaten at a short price on his 7f Kempton comeback; will be happier back sprinting on his turf debut.

J: Hector Crouch

T: Oliver Cole

Won four-runner race by nearly 5l at Leicester (6f, good to firm; first-time tongue-tie) in August but safely held on next two outings, latterly with no tongue-tie (missing again); needs to kick on again.

J: Kevin Stott

T: Oliver Cole

Disappointing when favourite at Windsor last time but he's still lightly raced and was an emphatic winner at Leicester (6f, good to firm) on his penultimate run; still looks feasibly treated on that form and has claims if he can bounce back.
