2-11 for the Gosdens, whom he left after winning at Sandown (1m6f, good; in regular cheekpieces); later bought for 77,000gns and did well at the Shergar Cup (2m, good to firm) given he pulled hard early; effective on good to soft (unraced on slower).

2-11 for the Gosdens, scoring for the first time on turf when leading late on at Sandown a month ago (1m6f, good; in regular cheekpieces); later bought for 77,000gns; tackles a new trip here and might well have more to offer; good to firm seems fine.

Given the ease with which he won at Chester (1m2f, good) it was disappointing that he came up short under a penalty at Ayr (good), though again he ran well; he's up 4lb here and they claimed 3lb last time, so has more on at these weights; he could improve for this softer surface, though.

Continued his progress when drawing clear at Chester (10.5f, good) last Sunday; this is more competitive under a 5lb penalty but Ryan Kavanagh claims 3lb and this one has an obvious chance of following up.

Won twice over C&D for Ben Brookhouse last summer, including this race by a wide margin (cheekpieces first time) when rated just 1lb lower; only run to form once in four starts for George Baker this year and he was tailed off on soft ground here when last seen in June; Patrick Mullins has been booked this afternoon and not unreasonable to think this race has been on the agenda for a while; respected.

Beaten under 3l in the Shergar Cup Stayers last time and is possibly running into form; however, usually races over further nowadays and this drop back to 1m4f looks a negative; cheekpieces reapplied.

More wins this year, two over hurdles and two on the Flat (about 1m4f, good), but perhaps found out by a career-high mark at Ascot and Lingfield (back at 1m6f, good to firm) since; probably has work to do again.
