Failed to progress from his debut in novice/maiden company last year (all over 1m) and he never featured on his handicap debut/reappearance at Salisbury (1m2f, good; first start since being gelded) 27 days ago; better is needed now stepping up in trip with a hood applied.

Promoted to first by the stewards at Goodwood (1m4f) having been carried left by La Peregrina; disappointing favourite at Epsom since but may still have more to offer in handicaps.

Left inauspicious seasonal/handicap debut (1m2f) behind when very close second (subsequently awarded race) at Goodwood (1m4f, good) last month, reportedly benefiting from combination of step up in trip and first-time hood; could easily have more improvement to come.

Well held in three novice events (1m-1m3f; good to soft/AW) and he never got involved from off the pace in a race run at a modest gallop on his handicap debut at Newbury (1m2f, good) 35 days ago; steps up in trip and he may yet do better.

Has finished first past the post in two of his four starts, all on turf, since handicapping; justified favouritism in small field at Thirsk (1m4f) latest; major contender with further progress plausible.

A very different proposition when upped to 1m4f at Goodwood (good; unraced on firmer) three weeks ago in his second handicap, coming from off the pace and passing the post in front by a short head but demoted for interference (edged left); up 3lb but may well have more to give, including at new trip.

Form & Verdict
Shaped with encouragement on his handicap debut at Yarmouth (1m2f) in April and built on that at Thirsk (1m4f, good) 34 days ago, finishing second of 11; up 3lb but he should have more to offer over this trip; major contender.

Well held in two 1m AW novices late last year, but is a much better performer now contesting handicaps on turf, getting off the mark in a four-runner event at Sandown (1m6f, good to firm) four weeks ago (runner-up was bidding for a five-timer); much respected from 3lb higher if as effective back on Tapeta.

Ran well when upped to 1m4f at Thirsk (good) in May and has run to a similar level in both starts since, including when second of five at Doncaster (1m4f, good to firm; first-time cheekpieces) 11 days ago; claims if seeing out this longer trip.

Form & Verdict
Made the running when posting a solid effort at Southwell (1m3f, AW) on his handicap debut in April but was down in the field when ridden more patiently on his turf debut at Newbury (1m2f, good) 35 days ago; steps up in trip having been dropped 2lb.

Has a largely progressive profile on AW, getting off the mark in 1m6f Southwell handicap in July and going down only to another 3yo at Wolverhampton (1m6f again) since; the step up to 2m could unlock more improvement.

Ties in with two of tonight's rivals as she finished alongside Wedonttellthetruth in the C&D event won by Cospicua when making handicap/seasonal debut; may build on that effort and show progress, provided she takes well to first-time headgear; shortlisted.
