Novice winner on soft at Salisbury; left Clive Cox at the sales for 180,000gns; made a satisfactory start for this trainer when fourth in the Horris Hill; ground was heavy at Newmarket but he handled good ground when placed on his first two starts.

Sent on early at Salisbury (7f, soft) and from thereon never saw another rival as he repelled the favourite by nearly 3l with the front two clear; posted a useful Topspeed figure and, with conditions no issue, he's a definite player; has since left Clive Cox at the sales for 180,000gns.

Prior to this year all his best form was at 7f on ground good or slower, and yet he popped up at 50-1 in a fast-ground Queen Anne and proved that was no flash in the pan with his close fourth to Bow Echo in the Sussex Stakes (again 1m on good to firm), in which he was nearest at the finish having been held up out the back; hard to knock.

Came off the good pace set by Opera Ballo when 50-1 winner of the Queen Anne at Royal Ascot (1m, good to firm) last time, completing a quickfire June double that was initiated over 7f at Epsom; still unexposed as a miler and has frame possibilities provided the latest piece of form is backed up.

Acts particularly well on ground softer than good; very useful 7f performer who prevailed narrowly at Epsom ten days ago for a second success in the Group 3 that was formerly the John of Gaunt Stakes and run at Haydock; ran creditably over 1m in 2024 German 2,000 Guineas but this is a stiffer test at the trip and a stiffer assignment to boot.

Got up late to win Bath novice (5f, good to firm) for Andrew Balding in June; 0-9 for this yard (majority 6f, turf/AW) and first-time cheekpieces (removed) didn't spark an improved effort last time; career-low mark and second go at this trip (first is easily excused) the straws to clutch at.

Needs to bounce back from a modest effort at Sandown where he folded rather tamely and wasn't beaten entirely by the 7f trip; had made an encouraging debut at Newbury (6.5f, good) and the winner of that race subsequently ran well in the Vintage Stakes; sets the standard on that form.

Runner-up in two of his six starts on turf, the latest at Salisbury (7f, good) in May, and he may have just needed the run at Lingfield (7f, good) 11 days ago; one of his half-brothers won on the AW and so did his dam, so he may find a bit more improvement for the new surface.
