Musselburgh 16:10 Odds Comparison

Different proposition 7 months on from his debut (gelded) when landing 8-runner maiden at Pontefract on return in April. Improved again when second of 3 in novice company at Hamilton and he adds a touch of class to this handicap with promise of more to come.

Made fourth and final start at 2 yrs a winning one in a 1m Brighton novice in October. After 6 months off (gelded), wasn't discredited when 4 lengths fifth of 7 on handicap debut at Southwell in April and way he shaped when third at Windsor suggests this slight step up in trip will suit.

Proved a different proposition when making a winning reappearance/handicap debut at Kempton in March and justified support when doubling his tally back there last month. Didn't look an easy ride when mid-field at Sandown last time, though.

Progressive juvenile (2-4) and took another big step forward after 8 months off (also gelded) when successful over 1m here in April. Shaped with promise in defeat next 2 outings but pitched into a better race and came up well short at Goodwood (7f). Up in trip.

Showed ability for Roger Varian and left a low-key stable debut effort well behind (had been gelded) when edging a tight finish at Lingfield (7f) in April. Shaped very well when second from an unpromising position at Kempton last time (1m) and this slight step up in distance will help on turf.

Didn't go on from a winning debut for Charlie Appleby. Changed hands for 25,000 gns and he shaped quite well on reappearance when very good 1½ lengths third of 6 to Strength of Spirit in handicap at this course (1m) in April.

Soft-ground Yarmouth maiden winner on debut and completed a simple task in a Redcar novice (7f) in October. Pitched into Group 3 company and must have been amiss in the Horris Hill later that month. Shaped in similar fashion on reappearance and since been gelded with headgear on.

Placed 3 times prior to getting off mark at Dundalk (1m) in November. Bumped into potentially above-average rival when second there the following month and ran right up to form despite racing freely when fifth on reappearance/stable debut in April. Refitting of a hood will help his cause.
