Form & Verdict
Won 6f maiden and novice events as 2yo; two good efforts over 7f this year, doing well when attempting to give weight to a big improver on the other Newmarket course (good) and no disgrace in a Lingfield defeat next time when having to be switched; solid chance.

T: William Haggas

His run of solid placed efforts (including over C&D in April) hit the buffers when he finished well adrift in first-time cheekpieces (subsequently removed) on his penultimate start; had a pace excuse when held up in a slowly run race at Kempton last time, however, and there's nothing wrong with this mark.

J: Cieren Fallon

T: William Haggas

Won a Haydock maiden and a Carlisle novice last summer; has gone close in three of his five starts this season but he was tailed off at Newmarket (7f, good to firm) last time; needs to bounce back after that major blip and he's untried on AW; cheekpieces worn last time are removed.

Narrowly beaten on three of his four starts since being gelded, going down on the nod at Yarmouth (7f, good to firm) on latest; should go close again off an unchanged mark, especially if first-time headgear has a positive effect.

Form & Verdict
Has led; won 6f Windsor novice as 2yo, also in the frame in Listed events; found little when upped to 7f on Newbury comeback but finished close up back over 6f at Windsor recently in new aids (tongue-tie retained, blinkers discarded); stamina still to be proved over 7f but can't rule out.

Disappointed at Newmarket (7f, good to firm) 33 days ago; earlier Windsor third was a solid effort though and the return of blinkers (worn at Windsor but left off latest) could see him resume his progress.

T: George Boughey

His 2yo win came in good style over C&D but he was the red-hot favourite; his limitations have been exposed since and he was beaten 8l on his return to action in April (7f, good); returns to 6f with a tongue-tie and blinkers fitted; not easy to assess.
