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.

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.

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.

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.

Showed improved form in first-time blinkers when a good second at Salisbury (1m2f, good) in May and he's posted two respectable efforts since, albeit he didn't look to relish this the step up to this trip at Newmarket two weeks ago; first-time cheekpieces replace blinkers.

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.

Looked likely to pick up a 1m2f handicap on the form of his first attempt in one, when runner-up at Doncaster in April, but that hasn't happened and he just plugged on at one pace when seventh of 11 at Newbury recently; down in grade but others higher up the list.
