Gamely justified favouritism in Thirsk handicap (good to firm) last time, taking record to 3-3 (all 1m); has obvious allure, being an improving contender who remains unbeaten.

T: Geoff Oldroyd

3yo with an unbeaten record after contrasting wins at Redcar (1m, good to firm; 28-1; came from last to first) in May and Southwell (1m, AW; 7-5 favourite; made all) in June; meets a higher calibre of rival on today's handicap debut but he's hugely unexposed and could be anything.

Belied his market position (outsider of four) with a comfortable success in 1m maiden at Redcar; one of the main players, provided that promise is confirmed.
