Started the year with two Listed wins at 5f before charging up the stands' side to snatch the Group 1 King Charles III at Royal Ascot (5f, gd-fm); eclipsed in the July Cup and the Nunthorpe; confidence could not be high against that background; probably rash to rule out all the same.

Started the year with two Listed wins at 5f before charging up the stands' side to snatch the Group 1 King Charles III at Royal Ascot (5f, good to firm) from under Rayevka's nose; not the same horse in the Group 1 July Cup at Newmarket after (6f; had good form at the trip as a 2yo) where he wouldn't have won at 5f and was eased down; has a question mark now but he's capable of putting his stamp on this race if on song.

0-6 this year but he's been knocking firmly at the door, including in Group 1 events; tends to come from behind and ended up with too much to do when fourth in C&D Group 3 (13-8 favourite) two weeks ago; somewhat unlucky (needed to be switched) when a fine third in the Group 1 Commonwealth Cup here in June; may still have potential and dangerous if getting the rub of the green.

A better sprinter than the bare form suggests as he hasn't had much luck this year, having to make a detour when a fast-finishing third of 22 in the Group 1 Commonwealth Cup here (6f, good to firm) in June and seemingly not as well suited by the track at Newmarket when fifth in Group 1 July Cup next time, when also having to negotiate a difficult draw; he only just failed to win a Group 1 at Deauville (6.5f) since and looks sure to go well back here.
