4/5

Comment: Easy to back and made a low-key debut but he's put that behind him in two runs since, with solid placed runs on the AW and against a talented newcomer (who wasn't far away at Goodwood this week) at Beverley (soft) 12 days ago; looks ready for a step up in trip; sets the standard.

Comment: Breeze-up buy at £200,000 but he achieved only modest form on Ripon debut (5f, good to soft; 7-2) when a remote fifth of six; that wouldn't be the easiest of tracks for beginners though and he's entitled to improve.

Comment: Didn't settle but travelled easily and got home narrowly on a belated return to this trip here 15 days ago; she's off a lower mark here if taking into account her rider's claim; hard to knock.

Comment: Made a slow start to this season but he returned to form with a close second at Musselburgh (1m1f, good) and his fourth here last time was in a Class 4; thereabouts.

Comment: Led 2f out and prevailed by a length over C&D 21 days ago, securing an 11th career win; raised 4lb; there's no real significance in the removal of cheekpieces.

Comment: Nine runs from 6f to 1m5f; better for going over 1m2f when always prominent and scoring by a length at Ayr last Monday; has the penalty but Lauren Young more than erases that with her claim.
