Form & Verdict
Similar level of form in finishing fourth in both starts last month, taking a keen hold at Goodwood (1m2f, soft) on the second occasion and not seeing his race out as a result; dropping back to 1m looks a good move and high on the list.

Won a Brighton maiden and 1m2f AW handicap at Lingfield; however, he ended last season with last of ten in a French Group 1 (1m2f, very soft) and subsided rapidly to be last of six in the Lingfield Derby Trial (11.6f, good to firm; 33-1); his owner is renowned for Derby contenders who have run well at big prices, but hopes for this one may be stretching it.

J: Daniel Muscutt

T: Andrew Balding

It was a French Group 1 (1m2f, very soft) which saw his progress arrested as a 2yo; his improved form to win a six-runner handicap here (1m2f, AW) on reappearance came by a neck off a mark of just 80 and although the runner-up has won twice since, this race clearly demands big improvement.

Won a maiden on return and shaped well in a close, running-on fourth on handicap debut next time, both 1m at this track (good); built on that when winning by a nose in 11-runner race at Ascot (1m, good to firm) three weeks ago, when he made up his ground in taking fashion but hung left when challenging; up 6lb but well worth a go at 1m2f and still brings abundant promise.
