Just two open races to his name — both solid, including a second here ten days ago — and a June trial campaign that produced quick wins in 16.65 and 16.73. The talent is obvious and he's second on the speed charts, but a dog this inexperienced drawn in the worst box on the card is a lot to ask: most of what we know about him comes from solo runs, not racing in a pack. Could easily be better than this grade eventually; today has hurdles.

Lightly raced — just a couple of open runs, winning one of them here — and now he lands the best box at the grade. His June trials were tidy and his 33% strike rate, while from a tiny sample, shows he knows where the line is. Fifth last time was flat, and with so little exposed form he's hard to weigh, but the draw alone makes him interesting at a price.

One open race — fifth here last week — and a couple of trials, one of them a quick 16.64 win in late June. That's the entire book on her, and with the lowest ratings and slowest race clocking in the field she's impossible to recommend on evidence. The trial pace hints at better; she needs to show it in company first.

His 16.43 best time is second only to Sambuca's in this field, and trap 6 is a strong box at the grade — but the recent form is stone cold: last of six a fortnight ago, one win from ten at the course and distance, and a 17.39 last clocking that's a second off his peak. His trainer is the sharpest represented here, which is worth a second look, but the dog needs to find his old dash from somewhere.
