Form & Verdict
Beat no less a rival than Kameko when landing a Group 3 as a 2yo; took a while to rediscover top form after a long absence but he ran well at Lingfield in November and confirmed that promise with a defeat of four rivals headed by Baldomero at Wolverhampton five weeks ago (extended 1m); still has some handicapping scope despite a 2lb rise.

Runner-up twice in a row at Newcastle (7f/1m, AW) in March; handed tough assignment in Buckingham Palace at Royal Ascot when back from a break (well beaten) but he's now just 1-17 on turf and others have more compelling credentials; wears a first-time tongue-tie.

Three wins here as a 2yo (6f and 7f twice); returned from a 435-day absence with a fine second at Newcastle in December (6f); fair run at that track last month (7f) and stepping up to 1m could prompt further progress; different profile to most of his rivals.

Prominent racer with a good record on AW; back to his best when seeing off 12 rivals over C&D last month but he was given a peach of a ride and they finished in a heap in behind; more will be needed if he is to defy his 3lb hike in the weights.
