7f AW win for Denis Quinn last season; running well for his new trainer too, most recently finishing a neck second at Epsom (good to firm) last week; runs off the same mark (1lb well in) and he is respected, for all his stamina for 1m has to be conclusively proven.

Became his new trainer's first runner, having been picked up from Denis Quinn for 17,000gns, when faring well in first-time cheekpieces (retained) at Yarmouth three weeks ago (Dapper Guest behind); generally consistent and won't mind the stiffer 7f.

Form & Verdict
Has modest 1-17 strike-rate but he's pretty consistent and his win was gained over C&D on good to firm ground (just under a year ago); finished well for second at Leicester (6f, good) last month and this step back up in trip is an obvious move; high on the list.

Sole win from 16 starts came at Epsom (7f, good to firm) last July; went close at Southwell (7f, AW) in April and did best of those ridden prominently when eighth of 22 at York (7f, good) three weeks ago; this drop back in trip shouldn't inconvenience him and he's considered.

All five wins have been at this track, with one coming over C&D, the most recent coming off 1lb higher in February; can miss the break, just as she she did when keeping on into third here over 7f last time, but drops in grade and makes the shortlist.

J: Jamie Spencer

T: T J Kent

Inconsistent seven-race maiden but he's on a reduced mark and made some good late headway when fourth of 11 in a Haydock handicap (7f, good) 13 days ago; this step up in trip should suit on pedigree and he's in the mix with Jamie Spencer booked.
