He's run well on both visits to Goodwood, latest a close third in 1m2f Listed race here (good) in May after an absence, and the late headway he made when eighth in the Listed Wolferton at Royal Ascot (1m2f, good to firm) suggests this step up in trip could be a good move; each-way chance.

Best effort in a truncated 2025 campaign when fourth to Haatem in this race (good to firm); showed enough to think he retains all his ability when third in 1m2f Goodwood Listed race (good) on reappearance 25 days ago; could reach the frame in this again.

Unlucky second at Glorious Goodwood in 2024 when bidding for a notable 1m2f handicap double; best effort in a truncated 2025 campaign when fourth to Haatem in Listed grade at Royal Ascot; should be thereabouts, provided he's in top form after ten-month layoff.

2m Group 1 entry; lightly raced 4yo, unraced on softer than good except on debut; has flourished this term, winning in some style at Carlisle (1m3f) in May and Royal Ascot (1m4f; 10lb higher today) in June; backed up the latter form when second in a steadily run Group 3 at Goodwood and looks well worth a crack at 1m6f.

Off 11 months after tailing off in a Group 2 at this meeting last year; shaped promisingly on handicap debut over C&D on return and firmly in charge through the final 2f at Carlisle (1m3f, again good to firm) three weeks later; trying to avoid trouble in running from stall 1 looks a headache today but zero shock if the 8lb rise underestimates him.

Held up; eight Group 3 wins are already in the bag, including this race in 2021 (his only appearance in it); has a slightly mixed reappearance record but he was almost as good as ever with his two wins last term, including first time out, and a return to that level would make this 9yo the one to beat.

Placed in several Group 1s when trained by Clive Cox; returning from a year off when down the field in the Wolferton at Royal Ascot on stable debut and then ran perfectly well in a Group 3 at Goodwood, albeit one that was steadily run; unlikely he's as good as he was, but still makes plenty of appeal at this level; goes on all ground.

No win since landing two of his first four starts but has a largely consistent record in Listed/Group company since, including third to Haatem and Galen in this race on good to firm 12 months ago; again ran well when chasing home Damysus in Group 3 at Newmarket (1m1f, good) on reappearance in April; a subsequent Chester run was disappointing but his record suggests he's unlikely to stay down for long.
