Form & Verdict
Began his career with a pair of 5f wins at Chester last May; progress stalled last summer but he returned from a 223-day absence with a good run back at Chester three weeks ago, third of 12 in a 6f handicap on good ground (wide draw); looks on a good mark but can he deliver away from Chester?

8st 9lb

J: Toby Moore

T: Hugo Palmer

Won twice at Chester as a 2yo; on the up this season, running well from a poor draw at Chester (6f, good) on his reappearance before winning at Hamilton (6f, good to firm) three weeks later; took his form to a new level when beating older horses at Chester (5f, good to soft) and the manner of that success offered hope of further progress; 1lb wrong under his penalty but horses arriving on the back of a recent win have fared well in this race (Latin Lover won, Dream Composer and Radio Goo Goo both placed) and Toby Moore takes off 7lb; central draw perhaps not ideal but plenty to like otherwise.

The only 3yo in the line-up; began career with two course wins (5.5f/6f, good) last spring and built upon his pleasing seasonal reappearance when scoring at Hamilton (6f, good to firm) last month; well drawn today and could still have more to offer if suited by this trip-and-ground combination.

Made it 2-3 when winning on stable debut in Southwell novice (7f, AW) in April and improved upon his handicap debut sixth when close second of eight at Hamilton (6f, good to soft) recently; unexposed but another step forward is necessary in this higher grade following a 3lb rise.

7f 2yo winner who kept on well to win in a small field here (6f, good to firm) a fortnight ago; this is more competitive but he did it cosily under Ryan Moore, who remains on board, and the return to 7f may be a plus.
