19th 2 (15) |
30th Sep 2023 Good To Firm 1m 1f 0y Class 2 |
9st 11lb |
4yo who is in top hands and has raced 12 times; two of his very best performances have come in big-field handicaps, when going close in last year's Britannia (1m, good to firm) at Royal Ascot and when a head second of 17 over C&D in May (good to soft; denied a clear run); interesting given this ideal scenario; blinkers refitted in place of first-time cheekpieces. |

3rd 4 (2) |
7th Jul 2023 Good To Soft 1m 1f 209y Class 1 |
9st 9lb |
Sole win came in a maiden as 2yo; went very close at Royal Ascot in 2022 (1m) and at Newmarket Guineas meeting this year (1m1f) and he fared easily the best of all five in this field when back at Royal Ascot (1m2f) on latest outing, coming a creditable fifth of 16 in Listed race; tried cheekpieces on last two starts but former blinkers now return; those peak efforts were in large fields when ridden by Frankie Dettori, whereas overall record is mixed, so the issue is not as clearcut as the Ascot result might suggest. |

20th Jun 2023 Good 1m 1f 212y Class 1 |
9st 5lb |
Course winner as 2yo; went very close from off the pace in the Britannia at last year's Royal meeting (1m, good to firm) and underlined what a talented performer he is on his day when narrowly denied by King Of Conquest in 1m1f Newmarket handicap (good to soft; first-time cheekpieces, retained) on reappearance; arguably a little unfortunate having had to wait for a run and that reopposing rival (who meets him on 3lb worse terms now) has boosted the form since; slightly mixed overall record but he hasn't finished out of the first two when partnered by Dettori and is capable of a big run. |

2nd 3 (11) |
6th May 2023 Good To Firm 1m 1f 0y Class 2 |
9st 7lb |
Failed to score last season but went very close from the back in the Britannia at Royal Ascot (1m, good to firm); gelded since latest start and has different headgear; withdrawn when the ground was soft two weeks ago. |

22nd Apr 2023 Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |
9st 9lb |
Failed to score last season but went very close in the Britannia (1m, good to firm) and, based on that effort, has a big handicap in him; combination of gelding operation and new headgear may do the trick. |
10/1 |
