Form & Verdict
Prominent racer who returned to form to win over C&D (good to firm) a fortnight ago and he followed up at Windsor (5f, good to firm) last Saturday, with the front two clear; up 6lb for last time and this is tougher, but he's clearly progressive; key player.

J: David Egan

T: Tom Clover

Has proved ideally suited by 5f on good to firm and, despite taking a hefty rise for two June wins, he didn't take much urging to get to the front at Newmarket last time, before nudged out to hold the second; a further 5lb rise in a better race asks for more but he should be in contention; yard won this in 2019.

Returned to winning form over C&D (good) last month, aided by first-time cheekpieces (retained since) and the drop back to the minimum trip; respectable midfield finish in the competitive 3yo Dash at Epsom (5f, good) last Friday and holds strong claims back down in grade.

All turf races have been on good or quicker but dam's best form was on soft; sole 2yo win was over 7f on the AW; ran well for a long way over 6f at Ascot on second run back and proved thoroughly at home over the new 5f trip at Goodwood (good; first-time cheekpieces) since, racing well within himself and coming clear for an impressive win; up 6lb but has better to come.

Off the mark for the year when comfortably winning a C&D handicap last month; two good efforts have followed, running well in the circumstances when third at Newmarket (5f, good to firm) four weeks ago; the stalls can be an issue but he should be bang there if breaking on terms.

Won at both sprint trips as a 2yo but he hasn't been at the forefront of calculations in three turf handicaps this year and has ground to make up on Quantum Power on their recent Newmarket run; looks to have his share of weight and fitting a tongue-tie needs to make a difference.

Record of 1-11 but his won was off 1lb higher at Southwell (5f, AW) in January and he ran well for a long way in a Class 4 handicap at Newmarket (fifth of eighth) 11 days ago; headgear is now added and he could make a bold bid on this drop back in grade.
