Third in a Class 2 at the Newmarket July meeting before 4l winner from the front at Sandown (both 1m2f, good) in August; creditable fourth of 12 in 1m4f York Ebor meeting handicap (good to firm) last time and has to be a player back in slightly calmer waters; showed promise on soft last year.

J: Callum Shepherd

T: George Scott

Ended three-race 2yo season for James Horton with clearcut success in Carlisle novice (1m, good to firm) just under a year ago and made fairly encouraging seasonal/stable/handicap debut when fourth of six at Sandown (1m2f, good) this month; needs to build on that performance here but has possibilities if the first-time hood helps him settle better.

Won AW novice at Chelmsford (1m2f) last November but he's had mixed results in handicaps this season; ran well when third at Ascot (1m2f) last month but he finished last of six at Sandown last time; should be fine on this drop back to 1m but he's now 1-7 and others are more convincing.
