9st 2lb

J: Rowan Scott

T: Dr Richard Newland & Jamie Insole

Initially promising but hasn't kicked on in handicaps (0-3; 7f-1m) and blinkers are removed after last time; bit to prove, though getting back on fast ground is a likely plus.

Fair maiden who wasn't discredited with fifth of nine in 1m Nottingham handicap 18 days ago; not out of things eased 1lb with blinkers added.

Gelded since finishing last of seven at Southwell (1m, AW) on handicap/seasonal debut; may do better returned to turf with the outing under his belt, having shown some promise in this sphere as a 2yo.

J: Billy Loughnane

T: Dr Richard Newland & Jamie Insole

Displayed clear promise on all three 2yo starts, most recently when sixth in valuable maiden at Glorious Goodwood (7f, good to soft); makes handicap/AW debut after eight-month absence; cheekpieces removed after one use; market helpful.

Improved on debut effort when beaten 2l over this trip at Salisbury (good to firm) and the winner finished fourth in the Group 2 Vintage here this week; this colt wasn't overly strong through the line that day but it's good form and cheekpieces are added.
