Improved form over 1m2f at the other Newmarket track on his first two starts this season, winning a handicap (on good) and third of five in a Listed race (good to firm); the Derby Italiano on heavy ground last time did not work out but he returns to a handicap on what looks a pretty good mark.

J: Tom Marquand

T: Marco Botti

Ex-Ballydoyle colt who got off the mark in first-time cheekpieces (retained since) on his stable debut in a Wolverhampton novice (9.4f, AW) in December and followed up over this C&D (good) 16 days ago on his first handicap start; could continue to progress but does need another step forward today.

Some improvement in maidens in the mud for Aidan O'Brien in the autumn; 30,000gns purchase and first-time cheekpieces (replacing blinkers) when getting off the mark at first time of asking for new yard in seven-runner novice at Wolverhampton (9.4f, AW) in December, making all; needs a chunk of improvement on this handicap debut but the trip should not be a problem.

Biggish prices in three maidens for Aidan O'Brien this autumn but he took another major step forward when a staying-on third at Gowran Park (8.3f, heavy) in October; changed hands for 30,000gns since; sets good standard on that latest form and he's open to more progress back up in trip for new yard; first-time cheekpieces replace blinkers.

One of three for yard; beaten a long way on debut but some promise at Tipperary since with blinkers on; needs a fair bit more with the headgear retained.
