Completed a hat-trick by scoring at York (1m4f, good) in May; 16-1 when dropped in from a wide draw in 19-runner King George V Handicap at Royal Ascot (1m4f, good to firm) 16 days ago and ran on well from out the back to finish fifth; raised another 4lb and this extra 2f poses a question but there's no sign yet of getting to the bottom of him.

Unraced on firmer than good; scored at Bath (1m, soft) last October on second start, narrowly obliged in handicap at Doncaster (1m2f, good to soft) in March and went in again at York (1m4f, good) five weeks ago; travelled smoothly and asserted gamely in 14-runner handicap the last time, which has seen him raised 10lb since but he's probably not reached his ceiling yet.

Scored comfortably at Bath (1m, soft) last October on second start and narrowly got the better of a serious battle for eight-runner handicap at Doncaster (1m2f, good to soft) in March on reappearance; raised 4lb but that latest start is solid form and this scopey, long-striding sort, who's well related, looks set for further improvement, including at 1m4f.

Beaten just over 2l when fourth of nine at 11-1 on last month's debut in a warm novice at Haydock (1m, good to soft); this well-bred 220,000euros breeze-up purchase is open to improvement and could have a big say.

Drawn wide at Ascot in June (1m4f) but he posted an improved effort when winning gamely there over 1m2f the following month; shaped a bit better than the bare result at Newbury last time having been snatched up inside the final furlong, and looks worth another try over 1m4f; could have more to offer.

1,100,000gns yearling; won over 1m2f in a maiden at Leicester and novice at Newmarket, making all in the latter; passed a much tougher test with flying colours when 11-10 favourite for Listed race at Hamilton (1m3f, good to firm) in July, coming from fifth of six to assert gradually in the final 2f; keeps looking capable of better but today's company demands great deal more again.

Built upon the promise of his sole 2yo run to win Leicester maiden (1m2f, good to firm) on reappearance, and he followed up in a small-field novice at Newmarket (1m2f, good) last month; today is a much tougher test of his credentials but this blue-blooded colt may well be up to the task.

His form when fourth and third in 1m4f turf handicaps this summer give him solid claims; last time's effort, when beaten 18l at Beverley, needs to be overlooked but he's not fully exposed; cheekpieces come off for this AW debut.

Off the mark at the fifth attempt in fairly valuable Sandown maiden (1m2f, good; first-time cheekpieces) in June and it was an improved effort when nutted on the line on his handicap debut at Newbury (1m3f, good to firm; front pair well clear) the following month; similar form in a French Listed race (1m4f) three weeks ago and this revised mark will demand a wee bit extra.

Didn't look straightforward when the race got serious on last two outings but he was nevertheless better at keeping a straight line when cheekpieces were enlisted for six-runner maiden at Sandown (1m2f, good) last time and stuck his neck out well to win by 1l; some improvement is probably needed going handicapping but he has to be considered seriously in this small field.

J: Tom Marquand

Comes with some risk having looked far from straightforward under pressure at Newmarket last time, albeit was perhaps partly unsuited by the track and either way may be aided by first-time headgear today; has shown consistent promise otherwise and holds particularly strong claims on penultimate effort, namely third in above-average maiden at Newbury (1m2f, good) that has worked out well.
