3yo who has raced only four times; gave subsequent Silver Bowl winner Teroomm a race when second in Thirsk novice (1m, good to firm) on reappearance before creditable eighth of 30 on handicap debut in the Britannia at Royal Ascot (1m, good to firm), a performance that can be upgraded as he had to wait for a clear run; he's a bright prospect who could be on a good mark.

Short-headed when he finished strongly at Newmarket (1m) in July and he was denied a clear run at top meetings on starts either side; never able to challenge in a muddling 1m2f race on latest start (gelded since) and worth this third crack at 1m2f; interesting.

Well beaten in the Britannia at Royal Ascot three weeks ago and it's hard to be confident on the back of that; however, that was a tough reappearance assignment and he's on a competitive mark if rediscovering the promise shown during last season's progressive 2yo campaign; not written off.

Sole win was a maiden as 2yo on his only run at this track; none too consistent in his 11 starts since but recent reappearance was respectable and this return to 1m2f should be okay; record with blinkers or cheekpieces (both absent last time) gives encouragement for today's first-time visor; wide draw.

Never involved back on turf at Newmarket last month; however, he returned with two respectable efforts on AW prior to that and the fact he's dipped to 1lb below the mark he defied at Sandown (7f, soft) last summer and was runner-up at this meeting last year make him a dangerous one to discount.

Strong handicap form over 7f last summer, winning at Goodwood and Chepstow as well as finishing second in a 20-runner event at Ascot (all when wearing blinkers); still feasibly weighted on that form and he went without headgear when down the field in the Lincoln; the blinkers return today and he's a leading contender.

Opposable on what he's shown this season but his form figures in handicaps at this course read 2424121 and he's now 6lb lower than when winning over C&D (good) last August in cheekpieces, which go back on (replacing visor); very interesting contender.
