Went close in successive 6f AW handicaps; claims if holding that form back in a maiden.

Did his best work late on back over 6f latest; looks competitive but also vulnerable.
7 (7)	Rogue Soldier b J:Luke Morris T:Tom Clover	J:Luke Morris T:Tom Clover	132	—	5	-	78	47	21d	—	—	-8	3.1	15/2 12%
Showed ability on debut; drop in trip positive; if settling better, he can have a big say.
4 (6)	Master Dandy ch J:Callum Shepherd T:James Fanshawe	J:Callum Shepherd T:James Fanshawe	132	—	—	-	-	-	—	—	—	-5	1.7	12 8%
30,000gns yearling; trainer's runners in good form and had a recent 3yo AW debut winner.

Got the hang of things late on when showing promise at Kempton; can improve on that.
5 (9)	Moulin Booj b J:Robert Havlin T:George Scott	J:Robert Havlin T:George Scott	132	—	—	-	-	-	—	—	—	-4	1.4	16 6%
Half-brother to sprint winners; stable 18% with AW 3yos this season; market check.

Drops in trip for this switch to Tapeta and can build on that first run.
3 (3)	Little Man b J:Cam Hardie T:Kevin Frost	J:Cam Hardie T:Kevin Frost	132	—	—	-	-	-	—	—	—	-2	0.7	33 3%
5,000gns 2yo; pedigree suggests he is likely to do better over further in time.
