Soundly beaten over 1m at Haydock on penultimate start in this season's only handicap; has consistently run with credit otherwise this season, last time plugging on from the back when 11th of 16 in Group 3 at Royal Ascot (1m2f) one place behind Bolster; needs extra to win this but his stable has a prodigious record in this race.

Placed twice in a row in Bahrain earlier this year and didn't run badly when fifth of seven at Windsor in June following a three-month break; could build on that latest run and continues to drop down the weights, but he's without a win since July 2023 and others are more compelling.

Built on the promise of his seasonal return when a close second at Warwick (2m, good) last month, despite making a mistake at the last; a 5lb rise asks a little more, though Lewis Stones's 3lb claim helps offset that, and he still looks favourably treated on his best Flat form; with further progress likely, he's high on the shortlist.
