Didn't run too badly when out of the frame here (beaten 4½l) over 7f (maiden plate) last month; first-time cheekpieces now; has shown glimpses of ability recently and has a shout.

Related to Grade 1 winner Vardy; interesting on pedigree; stable's record a potential plus; there's hope from the pedigree that he has some ability; trip should suit on breeding (sire has plenty of sprint winners); already gelded.

Australian bred; first start under rules for this three-year-old; would need to see money for him to get involved.

Was held in seventh here over 7f (maiden plate) despite first-time blinkers last month; yet to manage better than fourth in his five races; others more appealing.

Ran encouragingly when just under 3l runner-up last month; very interesting.

Gelded already; first start under rules for this son of Futura; whether he'll be sufficiently clued up remains to be seen so a watching brief the best policy.

Has kicked on in his last couple of races; solid effort at Kenilworth in August when just behind Gimmethejackhammer; might have a say if building on last performance.

Finished sixth of 12 on his debut when well behind the second, Premier Winter, over C&D at 80-1 six weeks ago; knows more about the job in hand; should not be ruled out.

Verdict
GIMMETHEJACKHAMMER looks set for a big run. Auguste Renoir is expected to take a forward step, and Le Tissier is capable of running well.
