130,000euros 2yo; nicely bred and showed plenty of promise when beaten short-head on debut here (7f; 7-1) this month (sixth has won since); no problem with 1m on pedigree and this looks a golden opportunity.

Ran well on AW early this year; had no luck (traffic issues) when midfield at York in July on turf/handicap debut, but easily gained compensation when 6-5 favourite in apprentice race at Haydock (1m2f, good; unraced on firmer) six days ago; has an unchanged mark today, so he's easily the form pick, and there's also plenty of encouragement for 1m4f.

Well held on his Newcastle debut in November, but showed plenty more when a staying-on third of 11 over C&D the following month; the time was slow and the runner-up finished behind Solomon here since but he still looks the second-best option based on that performance.

Progressive 3yo who won convincingly when upped to 1m6f at Haydock (heavy) and York (soft) on his last two starts; lacked sufficient gears over 1m4f on good to soft three starts back, but today's ground could be more testing and, either way, he very much looks the type to find further improvement.

Showed promise on sole run on soft (unraced on heavy); won at Carlisle in June and he's been second or third in his other four handicaps, over 1m4f on last two occasions; despite pedigree, he now shapes as if 1m6f may be within reach, so he also needs a second look.

Never figured after a slow start when beating one home on his Kempton debut (1m, Polytrack; 25-1) this month; should do better on pedigree and is open to improvement.
