9/1, showed improved form after 8 weeks off when second of 11 in minor event at Kempton (7f) 22 days ago. Every chance if building on that now handicapping.

Made a winning debut at Haydock in May but has finished well held in the face of stiff tasks on both subsequent starts, latest on handicap debut at Goodwood (7f, soft) 4 weeks ago. Others more persuasive.

Ran to just a similar level as previously when fourth of 8 in minor event at Epsom (7f, good to soft, 9/2) 4 weeks ago, unable to sustain effort. Makes handicap debut and should have more to offer.

Lightly-raced maiden. Good second of 8 in nursery at this C&D (4/1) 16 days ago, picked off only late on by one from the rear. Remains of plenty of interest.

9/2
Showed much improved form to get off the mark at the sixth time of asking in 10-runner nursery (25/1) at Leicester (7f, good to firm) 8 days ago, well positioned. Makes all-weather debut and provided he takes to the surface, he's fancied to be bang there under a penalty.

14/1
Lightly-raced maiden. 10/1, sixth of 7 in nursery at Newmarket (7f, good) 12 days ago, leading until around 2f out. Makes all-weather debut and likely to find a few too strong.

Forecasts

I'm Puzzled (2/1), Classy Clarets (4/1), Dan Dee Prince (9/2), Ebt's Guard (7/1), Tactical Control (8/1), Beechwood Star (12/1), Buttercross Flyer (14/1), Sarakana (33/1)

Verdict

DAN DEE PRINCE showed much improved form to get off the mark at the sixth time of asking at Leicester last week and provided he takes to a synthetic surface, Tom Dascombe's gelding can follow up under a penalty. Classy Clarets was picked off only late on by one from the rear over C&D recently, so he's fancied to give the selection most to think about, ahead of I'm Puzzled, who remains with potential now sent down the nursery route.
