Six-race maiden; faded into sixth of nine on seasonal debut at Lingfield (1m2f, good) three weeks ago but significant positives can be drawn from that outing and he might come on for the run; tries a new trip.

Promising third on Yarmouth debut (1m1f, good to soft) last September but he's been well held in four subsequent runs including three on dirt at Meydan during the winter; now goes handicapping after a gelding operation but he needs a transformation back on turf.

55,000euros breeze-up purchase; never far away when beaten just under 4l at Yarmouth (1m1f, good to soft) and the two ahead of him had the benefit of experience; leading chance on the figures and he should improve.

Form & Verdict
Left inauspicious seasonal/handicap debut (1m2f) behind when very close second (subsequently awarded race) at Goodwood (1m4f, good) last month, reportedly benefiting from combination of step up in trip and first-time hood; could easily have more improvement to come.

Failed to progress from his debut in novice/maiden company last year (all over 1m) and he never featured on his handicap debut/reappearance at Salisbury (1m2f, good; first start since being gelded) 27 days ago; better is needed now stepping up in trip with a hood applied.

Only beat two rivals home in his three novice/maiden runs as a 2yo (all 1m); gelded since last seen; surprising if this stoutly-bred 3yo couldn't leave those efforts well behind now his stamina is being more fully tested.

Stumbled soon after the start and did not get competitive when upped to 11.4f for handicap debut at Windsor (good to firm) in May but was made favourite for that race and probably still has potential.

Kept on nicely into fourth of ten on Yarmouth debut (1m, good to soft) last October but failed to repeat it on the switch to AW on final 2yo start; highly tried on her Newbury return and this handicap debut looks more her level with her pedigree suggesting the new trip will suit.

33-1 at Yarmouth (1m, good to soft) in October and looked to be struggling for a long way, but she stayed on for an eye-catching fourth of ten; disappointing, however, when 9-2 at Newcastle (1m, AW) four weeks later.

A maiden after nine starts but close second three consecutive times (1m2f-11.5f) since upped to middle-distance trips in April; proven on fast ground and seems very likely to be in the shake-up again.

Gradually getting there, beaten under a length here (1m2f, good) in April and going down by a short head in a 14-runner event at Windsor (11.4f, good to firm) last month, finishing nicely clear of the rest; up 4lb, but still looks the one to beat.

Suited by the step up to 1m2f back on turf when one of three to come away off a 2lb lower mark at Yarmouth late last month; bit unlucky not to go closer still there and is on the shortlist.
