Form & Verdict
Fair form when fourth at Redcar and when pipped here (another 5f novice on good to firm) ten days later; went to Royal Ascot for the Listed Windsor Castle (80-1) but got upset in the stalls and was withdrawn; if that element goes smoothly this time he is well capable of a bold show.

100,000euros breeze-up purchase; 11-2, promising fifth of nine at Windsor (6f, good to firm) last month, racing freely and short of room at a crucial stage; dropping to 5f should be no inconvenience; Group 2 Gimcrack entry; a leading contender.

Out of a 5f 2yo Listed winner; 2l fourth of 14 at York (5f, good to firm) on debut, travelling strongly but green under pressure; failed to live up to that when favourite at Chester (5f, good) 18 days ago but doing so much up front from a wide draw suggests she is well worth another chance.

Better than position suggests on debut (good to firm) and much better form, plus significant promise, when running on nicely from the back for fourth of 12 in maiden here (6f, good to soft) 13 days ago; 5f probably okay and he's an each-way contender if he can get early cover.

Might not be totally straightforward but he won a shade cosily at Windsor (6f) last June and it was a good effort when fourth of 12 over C&D (also good to firm) on his penultimate run; similar ground was blamed for a below-par run last time, though, which raises a question; still one of the more likely ones.

Hasn't had many chances on AW but he looked good over C&D last spring and he picked up smartly to beat eight rivals at Chelmsford last month; this is a higher grade but a 4lb rise is fair enough and he still has a bit of potential.
