Won his only 2yo race (7f, AW) and blanket finish to a hot novice contest over C&D (good) four weeks ago saw him pipped by the subsequent Lingfield Derby Trial winner; second again in Listed race at Newmarket (1m2f, good to firm) 15 days ago and, although connections reach for cheekpieces, he may well have been let in lightly on this handicap debut.

Basically progressive as 2yo, ending with best form over 1m2f/1m1f, and he reappeared with a creditable third of seven in 1m1f Listed race at Newmarket one month ago; after ten races, though, he may well be more exposed than a lot of today's rivals.

SR 88 is modest for this company — needs everything to go right at .

Two from two as a 2yo, both starts on Kempton AW; last of nine in Newmarket handicap (1m) on reappearance but may do better with the outing under his belt; by no means written off.

SR 71 suggests ability but reflects a stiff ask in this field.

17/2 9/2 17/2
Won a Punchestown maiden (1m, good to yielding) in September on third start; came up short in his three subsequent races but they were all Group events (1m/1m1f) and he improved in terms of ratings; cheekpieces go on today; although his Derby entry may not mean a great deal, as he's one of 16 from his top stable, they won this race in 2023 and 1m2f+ can suit.

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

Yarmouth maiden winner who was fourth in a Group 3 at Newmarket (1m2f, good to firm) on his third 2yo start; put firmly in his place in Group 3 Classic Trial at Sandown (1m2f, good) on reappearance but was 20-1 that day, may have needed the run and could be of more interest on this handicap debut.

Cost 340,000gns as a yearling, with dam a sister to dual Arc winner Treve; progressive in his three 2yo races, winning a novice at Kempton (7f, AW) before his rallying second in a notable conditions stakes here (1m, good to soft; just ahead of Bourbon Blues); gelded later; makes his reappearance but 1m2f+ should be a big help, so he's one to note.

AW winner in November who finished only just behind My Love Is King in blanket finish to a hot novice over C&D (good) on reappearance; again came from the rear when second of five in handicap at Newmarket (1m2f, good to firm) 13 days ago, which was creditable but he needs to build on that.

Looks quirky but he followed three seconds at 1m/1m2f by asserting late on in a 1m3f maiden at Southwell (AW) in April and he stormed clear in seven-runner handicap at Doncaster (1m4f, good to firm) two weeks later; blinkered on last three starts; up 7lb and drops back in trip, which has to be a worry, but he's certainly got his act together.

Hope for 1m2f on pedigree; ended last term with 7f and 1m AW wins; led over 2f out to over 1f out when creditable fourth of seven in handicap at Sandown (1m, good; 25-1) three weeks ago, and perhaps he needed that race, but others seem to have more striking claims.

Plenty of ability all 2yo starts, on final occasion always front rank to win a maiden at Haydock (1m, good to soft); dam was a 1m2f/1m4f winner and he duly improved at 1m2f when reappearing in a six-runner handicap at Sandown (good) three weeks ago, leading over 1f out and just holding on; up 6lb but should have more improvement in him.

All six races on good or softer; 1m2f suited him well on final two runs as 2yo, culminating in a Nottingham handicap win; not discredited when out of his depth in Listed race at Epsom (1m2f, good) on reappearance but he needs to resume marked improvement from 2lb out of the handicap.

SR 95 is competitive — each-way claims if conditions suit on the day.
