A revelation moving into 1m4f handicaps this year, winning in convincing style at Newbury (good to firm) and Newmarket (good); met his match back at Newmarket 13 days ago but went down by just a head, showing improved form, and he remains one to take seriously despite 3lb rise.

Unplaced all three runs as a 2yo but he has been a revelation in handicaps this year, winning in convincing style at Newbury (good) and over this C&D (good to firm); the handicapper has taken umbrage, raising him a total of 14lb, but further progress is very much on the cards; leading contender.

Form & Verdict

Modest hurdles winner who has been placed in Class 5 handicaps over 1m2f on the Flat in his two races this month; 1m4f looks plausible but there's a suspicion he will prove vulnerable to one with more potential.

Fair form in his three AW races at 1m, 1m3f and 1m4f; the last named was a strong novice event at Southwell and this late foal should be open to progress off what looks a reasonable mark for handicap/turf debut.

By Sea The Stars out of an Oaks winner who has already produced smart performers John Leeper (RPR 112) and Virgin Snow (105); fifth of eight on his Chelmsford debut (1m, AW) last November but he was beaten less than 2l and looks a likely improver over this longer trip on his return.

Some issues at the stalls this summer, including when he ran Baltic to a neck at Newcastle (1m4f, AW) on penultimate outing; there's more for him to prove on turf, albeit with his only two turf handicaps having been over 1m6f (latest the Melrose at York) rather than today's 1m4f.

Issues at the stalls lately; won five-runner race at Newcastle (1m4f, AW) on handicap debut and neck second when returned to that same C&D for latest outing; faded late on when tried over 1m6f behind Too Bossy For Us at Haydock (good) in between, however, which appears to put a dampener on his chance.

Unbeaten since he went handicapping in cheekpieces, showing highly progressive form over about 1m4f at Pontefract, Doncaster, Yarmouth and twice at Newcastle; asked serious questions by Tryfan last time but kept finding to get up in the final strides; up another 4lb but it's very hard to rule out further improvement.
