Going the right way and off the mark in Carlisle novice 16 days ago, knuckling down well having secured the stand rail. Opening mark looks a fair one.

Confirmed debut promise when getting up close home in 9-runner maiden at Wetherby (5.5f, good to firm) last month. Essentially outclassed when 9 lengths twelfth of 17 in Albany at Royal Ascot over C&D (good to firm) 21 days ago but should bounce back in this.

9/2
Dubawi colt who shaped with plenty of promise when runner-up on debut in a York maiden (6f) in May. Subsequent 2 efforts have been disappointing but no surprise if he bounced back on nursery bow (has been gelded).

Thrice-raced maiden. Third of 6 in maiden (8/1) at Newmarket (7f, good to firm) 21 days ago, taking strong hold. Drop back to 6f should suit on handicap debut.

14:50 Ascot - 14 July 2023 - Racecard - Horse Racing - Sporting Life

IMPRESSIVE ACT is worth another chance to confirm debut promise now switched to a nursery having been gelded in the interim. Recent winners Soldier's Gold and Quickfire are both going the right way so they head the dangers.
