10/1

Improved again when completing hat-trick in 5-runner nursery at Wolverhampton (9.5f, evens) 18 days ago, cosily. Up further 5 lb and has to prove he's as effective on turf but clearly demands respect.

13/2

Runner-up on debut but regressive form since, tongue strap on for first time when ninth of 11 in novice at Kempton (8f, 14/1) 14 days ago. Up in trip with hood fitted for nursery debut and he has a lot to prove.

Form: 289

2/1

Improved form fitted with a visor when good second of 10 in nursery at Redcar (8f, good) 14 days ago, clear of rest. Up in trip, which will certainly suit on breeding and this mark looks well within range.

Form: 6762

Forecasts

Chelsea Embankment (7/4), Gentle Warrior (2/1), Manila Thriller (4/1), Bellator Bullet (13/2), Lazieelunch (10/1)

GENTLE WARRIOR showed more than in his qualifying runs when runner-up on nursery debut a fortnight ago and with this step up in trip likely to suit given his pedigree, he could be the answer in receipt of lumps of weight from Lazieelunch, who seeks a 4-timer.
