0-3 and vulnerable if bumping into anything useful but he's finished in the first three on all three starts (6f, good/good to firm) and his form is as good as anything the others have achieved; in the picture.

190,000euros brother to three winners; has 3l to find with Alaminos on their Thirsk clash and, although 7lb better off with the winner, this colt did have the benefit of experience in Yorkshire; should run well nonetheless.

Made it 0-6 when disappointing favourite in first-time cheekpieces (retained) on recent handicap debut at Beverley (5f, good to soft); it's hard to be confident on the back of that but he was runner-up three times previously and is effective on soft ground, so it's too soon to write him off.

Placed on all four starts since his debut run, all over 6f, on reappearance finishing runner-up in a Pontefract novice (good to soft); drop to 5f could suit; interesting with headgear tried on handicap debut.

Down the field in good-ground handicaps on his two starts this year, the latest at Hamilton on Sunday; however, he won a soft-ground maiden at Ayr (6f) last September and the return to a slow surface may be just what he needs.

T: John Butler

Busy 2yo for Richard Hannon, winning a C&D novice last May and sometimes acquitting himself well after, despite having stiff tasks; has dropped down the weights and he ran respectably on yard/AW debut at Newcastle recently (7-2), eased when beaten; may well do much better back on turf.

28-1 winner of Ripon maiden (6f, good) in August and built on close reappearance second when beating 12 others in handicap over that C&D (good to soft) three weeks ago; evidently likes that track but has form elsewhere and she's not ruled out despite 5lb rise.
