Unsuited by steady pace last time when bidding to take his AW record to 3-3; has won on turf but his overall form in this sphere isn't entirely convincing; others have less to prove.

Struggled in three starts on turf this year but made it 2-2 on the AW when coming home nicely from off the pace over this C&D 16 days ago (hood was removed); only 2lb higher and he has the potential to rate higher on this surface.

Record of 2-2 on AW; 0-5 on turf but ran well in the Britannia at Royal Ascot (1m) when last seen, while shaping as if this return to 1m2f is well worth exploring; sold out of Tom Dascombe's yard for 215,000gns since; interesting, especially if the market speaks positively.

7f/1m AW wins late last year; given every chance when 3l behind Laureate Crown at Sandown two runs back (1m, good) and then failed to make any impression in Newbury's always-strong London Gold Cup; pulling hard was the last thing he needed when upped to 1m2f in the latter but it wasn't the ideal preparation for this tough a test.

Hope for 1m2f on pedigree; ended last term with 7f and 1m AW wins; led over 2f out to over 1f out when creditable fourth of seven in handicap at Sandown (1m, good; 25-1) three weeks ago, and perhaps he needed that race, but others seem to have more striking claims.
