J: Jason Hart

T: William Haggas

Strong run from off the pace to win at Chester (1m2f, soft; unraced on heavy) in June on handicap/seasonal debut; unable to land a serious blow in three warm handicaps since but finished closer (beaten 2l) when upped to 1m5f at Newbury on latest and that's up with his best form (off same mark as today); lightly raced 4yo who could have more to give in first-time hood.

J: Cieren Fallon

T: William Haggas

Resumed his progression when coming with a strong run from off the pace to win 12-runner race at Chester (1m2f, soft) on handicap debut and reappearance; unable to land a serious blow when performing respectably in good races over 1m2f at Goodwood (good) and Sandown (soft) since but remains unexposed and it's possible this longer trip will suit him; Tom Marquand sides with Dramatic Star but there's still plenty to like.

J: Tom Marquand

T: William Haggas

Failed to build last summer upon his winning debut but he came from the back to win 12-runner race at Chester (1m2f, soft; from Grey Cuban) this June on handicap/seasonal debut; never able to challenge when favourite at Glorious Goodwood (1m2f, good) on latest outing but not discredited and worth another chance to confirm the good impression made at Chester.

J: Tom Marquand

T: Ben Arbib

Failed to build last summer upon his winning debut, in novice events, but he returned to the fray with a taking success from Grey Cuban when coming from the back in 12-runner handicap at Chester (1m2f, soft) last month; up 8lb but promising.

Half-brother to the same connections' 1m2f Group 2 winner Lilac Road; looked a useful prospect when making a winning debut in 1m2f Leicester novice (good to soft) just over a year ago; failed to build as expected on that in two more novice runs last summer but a top yard has stuck with him and he returns from a gelding operation as a very unexposed sort who could easily have more to give; drawn widest, though.
