Form & Verdict
Well-bred gelding who put everything together and showed stacks of improvement to win easily in a big field on handicap debut at Newbury (1m, good; 11-2 favourite) last week; the handicapper has taken umbrage, putting him up 12lb for 2l, but he's a useful prospect and may well follow up.

Thrived in first half of last year and won the Group 2 Hardwicke Stakes at Royal Ascot (1m4f, good to firm) last June; absent with injury subsequently but he'll be very tough to beat if returning close to his best.

Four wins in Bahrain from December to March (1m2f-1m4f, good/good to firm) and transferred that improvement back to Britain with a Listed win at Goodwood (1m2f, good) last month; this is a tougher test of his credentials but he could have more left in the tank, especially now back up to 1m4f.

One of her better efforts when chasing home a big improver over C&D last summer and she has run well on both turf starts this year, winning on reappearance at Hamilton (1m1f, good) and close up at Ayr (1m, good) in July; first time William Buick has ridden her in a handicap; every chance.

Form & Verdict
Just fair form in three runs over 7f but he retains potential having been short of room when a one-paced third of 12 at Haydock (good) three weeks ago; should be at least as effective over this longer trip and moves into handicaps on a workable mark considering his fairly useful pedigree; shortlisted.

0-18 since his 2yo days but he's sliding in the weights and ran respectably when third of ten at Epsom (8.5f, good to firm) nine days ago; may build on that and unlikely to be far away.

Best run was the only time he's been ridden by Adam Farragher, when second of five in Brighton maiden (1m, good to firm) in June; possibly didn't stay the extended 1m2f in a bigger field at York next time; still lightly raced but needs to hit a new high.
