3-3 as a 2yo, notably coming from well back to win the Gimcrack at York (6f, good); sixth in last season's 2000 Guineas on his reappearance but a shade disappointing returned to sprinting afterwards; gelded prior to his Chester fourth (also tried blinkered) when last seen nine months ago; perhaps getting back on a forecast sound surface will help and his style of racing should be suited by the demands of a big-field handicap.

3-3 as a 2yo and ran with credit when sixth in the 2,000 Guineas on his return, but only third of seven behind Shaquille at Newbury (6f, good; 8-11) in May and finished further behind that rival in the Commonwealth Cup at Ascot (6f, good to firm; first-time cheekpieces) the following month; has been gelded since and blinkers are now given a go; major chance on these terms, but he has something to prove.

Posted a personal best when picking up well from off the pace to land the Group 1 July Cup at Newmarket by a neck from Swingalong; perhaps feeling the effects of several hard races when only fifth of 16 in French Group 1 next time, but he now returns from 11 weeks off and may not have reached his ceiling just yet; goes well on a soft surface.

Highly progressive last year (including on fast ground) and better than ever when landing the Group 2 Duke Of York Stakes (6f, good) last month; got up late on at York, suggesting today's stiffer course may well be a positive, and this thriving 4yo holds solid claims.

Half-brother to five winners, including one first time out as a 2yo; he could well want a stiffer test than this, though, and his trainer wouldn't be noted for juveniles (0-7 over the past five seasons).
