He was 4lb lower when beating Strike to take this race in 2024; could only finish fifth last year but he took advantage of a reduced mark to score at Redcar (6f, good to firm; First Folio fourth) 17 days ago; back up 5lb but he should be thereabouts.

Respectable C&D form last September when third of 19 but he's been at his most impressive on flatter tracks so far, as when crushing his rivals at Ayr (good to soft) and York (good) as a 3yo; returned to action with a mighty effort on the latter track in May, when only just failing to reel in a well-treated front-runner; major chance if reproducing the form back here, despite going up 5lb since, as his star is still rising.

Promising 3yo last season and things clicked in a major way with a dominant win in a big-field C&D handicap (good) last October when last seen; he's entered in the Group 1 Jubilee Stakes at Royal Ascot and this lightly raced sort is in excellent hands to continue to progress; strong contender.

Back in form at York last time, despite being rather drawn away from the action in a race in which the leaders didn't stop; a while since he went beyond 5f but this may well be run to suit if he gets some luck once dropped in (as seems likely) from stall 9.
