Campaigned over hurdles in the autumn and now switched back to the level, where he is 0-5 on turf. This is his All Weather debut over a trip that really ought to suit. Only once threatened to win a maiden in Ireland and probably best watched.
Hard to assess his three runs in the French provinces, where he made the frame over 2m2f. This is a marked drop in trip and his pedigree suggests that he might be effective over it, though another for whom a watching brief is advised.
Plenty green enough on debut here over a furlong shorter when last of 8 beaten 12½L. Entitled to come on for that but appears to need to come on plenty. First-time blinkers tried this time and not entirely sure step up in trip looks ideal at this stage.
Good debut effort in spite of running green, finishing just a neck second and ahead of a John Gosden-trained hotpot. Should be capable of building on that now he knows a bit more about the game and could be tough to topple.
Green enough on debut when running down the field over 1m½f here. That experience plus the extra furlong should help him today, though stable's runners not red hot at present and it takes a leap of faith to see him winning.
Made the frame in four starts on turf last year from 7f up to 1m½f to earn a rating of 73. Assessor has lowered that by 2lb, but connections not tempted to send her handicapping just yet and now step her up in trip. Decent draw and strong claims with her allowance and yard in cracking form.

Forecasts
Long John Silver (2/5), Laureate (4/1), Wallangarra (7/1), Chippenham (9/1), Oxford Don (16/1), Hazamar (18/1), Mr Magill (100/1)
Wallangarra is an interesting contender today and a market check is advised, while Long John Silver has the best recent form in the field and with any improvement on his debut he will be hard to beat. However, LAUREATE knows a bit more about the game and is well treated here, with this step up in trip a plus and he stable in good form, so she is the suggestion.
- Laureate
- Long John Silver
- Wallangarra
