Won at Wolverhampton (8.6f, AW) last October in first-time cheekpieces and he's one to watch in the betting in first-time blinkers today, but he's struggled on both runs this season and a major turnaround is necessary.

Seven races last year for David Loughnane and sole win in a Wolverhampton nursery (8.6f, AW) in October in first-time cheekpieces, which were kept when never dangerous in his two starts since; latest was stable/seasonal debut (25-1) and maybe he needed that run, but others have more pressing claims.

Sole win for David Loughnane came in a Wolverhampton nursery (8.6f, AW; first-time cheekpieces) in October; picked up for 20,000gns later that month and now makes his stable debut after 174 days off; well drawn; watch market.

Having been gelded he made a winning handicap and seasonal debut at Redcar (1m, good to firm) in April; only fifth at Haydock (1m2f, good to soft) since but faded late on and he could be in the mix over a furlong shorter.

11-2 when seen in a very new light for handicap/seasonal debut at Redcar (1m, good to firm) three weeks ago, coming from rear to win a nine-runner race by nearly 2l going away; 7lb higher but there was plenty of encouragement for 1m2f in that performance; one to consider.

Down the field on his three 2yo starts (7f/6f) and improvement is needed off his opening mark; however, he cost 52,000euros at the breeze-ups last May and could be capable of better; gelded since last time; watch the betting.

Best 2yo run came when keeping on for close fourth here (6f, good) in September; however, he's struggled elsewhere on both runs this season (7.4f/7f, good to soft/AW) and a dramatic revival is needed back at Carlisle.

Three outings over 6f last year, showing promise when keeping on for close fourth at Carlisle (good) on second start; blew the start at Ayr (soft) four weeks later, so can have that fourth of eight marked up slightly; subsequently gelded; potential improver and one of the more likely types, particularly if backed.

Kept on for neck second on nursery debut at Thirsk (1m, good) last September; soundly beaten at Beverley (8.4f, soft) 11 days later and he's unproven on slow ground, but he reappears having been gelded and remains one to be interested in given the Thirsk effort.

Verdict

Handicap newcomers Lightening Lad and Clocker could improve for the extra yardage but preference is for HATAMOTO, who was runner-up over 1m on soft ground here last month and found the drop back to 7f against him at Leicester subsequently.[Ben Hutton]
