Edinburgh Cup Handicap

Easily made all off 8lb lower here (1m, good to soft) in April and fair fourth under penalty at Sandown (1m, good) six days later; well beaten at Haydock (1m, good) a fortnight ago but he was hampered early having reportedly got upset in the stalls, and couldn't adopt his usual front-running role; of interest now back at the scene of his dominant win.

Kept on for second behind easy winner Thunder Wonder on reappearance here (1m, good to soft) in April then won at Beverley (7.4f, good to firm); made no impact at Newmarket (7f, good to firm) three weeks ago but it's possible this step up in trip will be a positive and he's not discounted.

Made all on debut at Beverley (7.4f, good to firm) last August and did likewise in Wolverhampton novice (7f, AW) in October to make it 2-2; not disgraced when sixth of eight in Listed fillies' race at Newmarket (1m, soft) in November; absent since but she brings potential to this handicap debut.

Won on debut at Newcastle (7f, AW) in February and close third at Southwell (1m, AW) next time; kept on well for third on handicap debut at Newbury (1m, good to firm) three weeks ago and this extra furlong could be a firm plus; he's one to consider in first-time headgear for his top Newmarket yard.

Only seventh of 12 on handicap/turf debut at Haydock a fortnight ago (1m, good; led) but he stayed on the far side in the home straight, unlike those who fought out the finish, and he rallied late on; his previous AW form reads well and he remains one to be interested in.
