The least exposed in this field, given his four races were all on AW; two were wins and the way he imposed his superiority at Chelmsford (1m2f; 9lb higher today) in June on handicap/seasonal debut suggests he is all set for better still if he proves effective on this surface.

Last December's C&D novice third, under a penalty, reads well enough; that came after a break of nine months and he's been absent for six months since, so it clearly hasn't been plain sailing; interesting to see how he goes in the market.

Well-bred gelding (by Too Darn Hot out of a Ribblesdale winner) who made a solid start when third of eight at Kempton (1m; 17-2) nine days ago, doing his best work late on; should be suited by today's extra yardage; open to improvement and probably the one to beat.

Closely related to 1m2f AW winner First Snowfall (RPR 67), half-brother to 1m/1m1f winner Act Fast (81); dam 1m2f-1m4f winner (including Group 2 Ribblesdale; 113), sister to 1m3f Listed winner Captain Webb; already gelded but respected on debut for powerful yard, especially if backed.
