Good fourth in Chantilly Listed contest (6.5f, AW) last month, despite having been absent since midfield effort in the 2025 Coventry; chance of landing this useful race partly depends on how well he responds to first-time headgear; steps up a tad further in trip.

Beaten at Chepstow on debut but looked far more with it at Lingfield (6f, good) when dominating from the front down the 'golden highway' up the stands' rail; would probably have beaten inferior opposition no matter how he was ridden, but that didn't smack of Royal Ascot-winning material; improvement is possible but it's certainly necessary.

Likes to push the pace and seems versatile ground-wise; his win over slightly shorter here (good) was the middle leg of a summer hat-trick last year and it was a fine effort when close third in Listed Flying Scotsman at Doncaster in September; has a good stall to go forward but his no-show on return to turf (66-1; drawn wide) a fortnight ago needs glossing over.

Making good progress for his new stable, gaining a deserved success at Redcar last month and following it with a fine second of 13 at York a fortnight ago; a 5lb rise for that defeat does ask an even stiffer question of him but he's not taken lightly.

Has a largely solid record and may remain competitive despite taking an 8lb hike for an emphatic success, having bossed a small field, at Redcar (5f, good) last Saturday; good third of 13 over C&D the time before and doesn't necessarily need to dominate.
