Form & Verdict
Improved effort when just denied on his handicap debut at Windsor (1m) in May and he made no mistake with an emphatic win over that C&D (also good to firm) 12 days ago; raised 10lb but he's firmly on the up and looks the one to beat.

J: Rossa Ryan

T: Jane Chapple-Hyam

Just lost out on handicap debut here in May and two wide-margin wins followed, over C&D and at Carlisle (good to firm and good); has taken a steep rise in the weights but subsequent defeats aren't conclusive evidence that he's reached his peak; likely to figure.

J: Rob Hornby

Made it second-time lucky in handicaps when trouncing his rivals at Windsor and he followed up with a 5l success at Carlisle (1m, good) last month; shot up the weights after those wins but he ran another good race when a close fourth over C&D last month; needs to kick on again to defy this mark but he's still lightly raced and is bred to be useful.

Unexposed gelding who has form figures of 211 in handicaps and who has won by 5l at Windsor (1m, good to firm) and Carlisle (1m, good) in those last two runs; up another 11lb but he still looks feasibly on his latest form and is open to more progress; major player.

0-14 for this yard but he went very close at Wolverhampton (8.6f, AW) in February and again in April; last month's return to turf at Hamilton (1m1f, good to soft) wasn't up with those efforts though.

Both wins came under a 7lb claimer in Ireland and it wasn't a bad effort under Ruby Criscuolo when beaten a shade over 2l at Southwell (1m3f, AW) in May; moderate fourth at Pontefract on Monday, however, which took his record to 0-15 for this yard.
