Won at Southwell (7f, AW) last October on sole 2yo start and returned with good second at Kempton (1m, AW); failed to settle in front and weakened in 1m2f Group 3 Classic Trial at Sandown (1m2f, good) four weeks ago; goes handicapping off a fair mark and could run well back down in trip.

2-2 in nurseries last summer (7f, good/heavy) and returned with close Listed fifth at Lingfield (7f, AW) in February; has top weight in this hot handicap but the step up to 1m may eke out something extra; each-way chance.
AI verdict

SR 82 is modest for this company — needs everything to go right at .

Reappeared at Wolverhampton (8.6f, AW) in March having been gelded and won a small-field handicap, and he improved again to follow up at Sandown (1m, good); this hold-up horse travelled well last time and could have more left in the tank, provided the ground suits (unproven on slow surface).

SR 87 suggests ability but reflects a stiff ask in this field.

Won Ripon novice (1m, good to firm) last August on third start then followed up in four-runner nursery at Sandown (1m, soft), before creditable Listed fourth in France (1m, soft); he may have needed last month's comeback run at Sandown (1m, good to firm) but he's not obviously well treated.

Beaten by the same horse in his last two races, latterly in a valuable handicap at Naas (1m, good); that form just about sets the standard back in a maiden and dropping to 7f won't hurt; had a wasted journey to Haydock at the weekend where he was due to line up in a 100k handicap.

Won for Iain Jardine on debut at Musselburgh (7f, good) last July then 11l sixth of seven in the Acomb at York (7f, good to firm); won in a small field on his stable/handicap debut at Wolverhampton (7f, AW) in December and this likeable type is open to further improvement; not ruled out.

Reappeared having been gelded and left sole 2yo run (6f, soft) well behind to win at Doncaster (7f, good to soft); improved again to follow up in Kempton novice (7f, AW), doing well to score having been carried left; could be on an advantageous mark for this handicap debut, especially now at 1m.

Won last summer on first two starts (6f, AW) then kept on for third of 18 in nursery at York (7f, good to firm) that worked out nicely; well beaten in Newmarket Group 3 (7f, good) on final 2yo start (gelded since) but retains potential and he's worth a second look in a first-time tongue-tie.

Having made the running he was beaten just a neck on nursery debut at Doncaster (1m, good to soft) last September, which was the second leg of a four-timer for the winner; reappeared with 10l win at 2-5 in maiden at Southwell (1m, AW) in March and he could be well treated off an unaltered mark.

Won Ffos Las maiden (7.3f, heavy) last September on seventh start when going beyond 6f for first time, and he followed up in a valuable EBF final at York (7f, good); denied a clear run when mid-division in handicap at Newbury (7f, good) on reappearance and the step up to 1m looks a good move; chance.
