T: William Haggas

Very impressive on handicap debut at Ayr (6f, good to soft) last July before a nasty fall at York, and it was a welcome sight when he reappeared with a Listed win at Salisbury (6f, good); below par on sole run on fast ground and others have more substance to their form, but he's an exciting prospect who could still have plenty more to offer for his top stable.

Promising in 6f novice events, winning at Yarmouth on second occasion (soft ground), but it was his runaway Ayr win last July that stamped him as a potential top notcher; still in contention for a York Listed event when clipping heels and taking an horrific fall in September; he remains a sprinter of considerable interest but having a positive experience back on the racecourse may be the number one priority today.

Considerable promise on soft ground on both 2yo starts; below par at Yarmouth (6f, good to firm) on reappearance but bounced back with demolition job in the big-field Ayr Gold Cup Trial (6f, good to soft) in July; it remains to be seen if he's dependent on slow ground but he's a very exciting prospect who could play a leading role today if conditions are suitable.

J: Clifford Lee

T: William Haggas

Impressive winner of a 6f soft-ground novice at Yarmouth last season and, although beaten at odds of 4-9 when penalised back there in June, he bumped into the subsequent Group 3 Jersey runner-up that day; didn't take up his engagement in the July Cup but still holds the Group 1 entry at Haydock; clearly well handicapped if those aspirations are realistic.

July Cup entry who improved on a promising debut effort when making virtually all to win easily over C&D (soft) last October; carries a penalty as a result but he remains a major player.
