Has never won first time out but he has run creditably and is the clear form pick
3 (1)	Mount Atlas Bay J:Oisin Murphy T:Andrew Balding	J:Oisin Murphy T:Andrew Balding	128	—	51924-	107	121	111	161d	—	—	+1	29.6	0.50/1	2/1 33%
Solid campaign last season but there's a bit for him to prove on this first crack at 1m6f
4 (4)	Roaring Legend Grey J:Jason Hart T:Olly Murphy	J:Jason Hart T:Olly Murphy	128	tp	403-22	104	123	112	36d	—	—	+7	16.2	1.88/1	15/2 12%
Never better than in February; peak turf form not far behind; probably be on the premises
2 (6)	Many Men Bay J:Pat Cosgrave T:Jim Boyle	J:Pat Cosgrave T:Jim Boyle	128	—	18124-	100	116	88	183d	—	—	+16	25.7	2.25/1	9/1 10%
Better still is required but his record of improvement demands respect
6 (3)	Lady Vivian Bay J:Rossa Ryan T:Ralph Beckett	J:Rossa Ryan T:Ralph Beckett	123	—	11772-	94	117	104	185d	—	—	+16	22.9	2.75/1	11/1 8%
2nd from off the pace at Toulouse (Listed) on final start gave hope for this longer trip
5 (2)	Kate O'Riley Bay J:Cieren Fallon T:James Owen	J:Cieren Fallon T:James Owen	123	—	504-62	84	109	77	31d	—	—	+6	9.3	8.25/1	33/1 3%
More to prove on Flat turf and over new trip, with a big step forward required anyway
