Form & Verdict
Justified favouritism when beating a clear second on his seasonal/stable debut at Ripon (1m, good to soft) in April; never dangerous when fourth in similar conditions at Nottingham last month but that was a Class 4 and he has shaped as though this new trip should be within range; needs a close look on this drop back in grade.

In good form since joining this yard with wins at Ripon (1m, good to soft) in April and Doncaster (1m2f, good to firm) in June; upped to 1m4f for his AW debut when a solid third at Southwell last time and this return to shorter and turf should be no problem at all; respected.

2-4 for this yard with narrow wins at Ripon (1m) and Doncaster (1m2f); another creditable effort over 1m2f last time; needs to resume improvement, which may be possible as he's just a 3yo but he's not bred for this new trip; it's also his AW debut.

0-4 for Clive Cox but 2-3 for this yard after narrow wins at Ripon (1m, good to soft) and over C&D (good to firm); came from off the pace a month ago to collect by a half-length off 5lb lower; well bred, he might well have more to offer.

Form & Verdict
Nine-race maiden, with new yard this season; upped to 1m2f, hooded and came from the rear when third at Doncaster (good to soft) and second at Nottingham (good) this spring; enters the reckoning on that form and he may have had stamina issues over 1m4f in a Class 4 at York last time; not ruled out dropped back in trip and grade.

All three runs have been on Tapeta; shaped with some promise in novice events at Newcastle (1m) in November but he was tailed off at Wolverhampton the following month; still early days and now goes handicapping but he has something to prove after six months off.

Encouraging third of seven on seasonal/handicap debut at Doncaster (1m2f, good to firm) in June but well beaten after racing too freely twice since (1m2f/8.3f); could still have potential but comes with obvious risk.

Pulled too hard in two 1m2f handicaps earlier in the summer; hopefully the gelding operation and drop in trip will see him settle, in which case he ought to fare better for a yard with a decent record with 3yos here.

Best effort for Brian Meehan came over 1m2f (managed second) and was last seen stretching out to 1m4f; changed hands for 14,000gns this month; this won't take much winning and a positive market move would look significant; goes without headgear.

Progressive 3yo who made the breakthrough at Newmarket (1m2f, good to firm) in July and he followed up with a dominant display here (1m4f) last week; looks well treated under a penalty for that 4l win and he's a strong contender in his hat-trick bid.

Eighth-time lucky at Newmarket last month, showing a good attitude to get back after being headed over 2f out; the manner of that win offers hope for going beyond 1m2f for the first time and a 4lb rise could easily be defied.
