Form & Verdict
Went close at Yarmouth and wasn't beaten all that far in the 7f Chesham at Royal Ascot, which represents a standout piece of form in this company; odds-on at Windsor 17 days ago (1m) but hung right on exiting the stalls and crashed through a running rail; highly likely that he was influenced by a chute that hadn't been railed off; hard to beat.

T: David Simcock

Record of only 1-8 for Andrew Balding and has looked quirky but he appeared to run very well in the Derby (1m4f, good to soft; 50-1 fifth of 16) most recently; has since changed ownership and stable; leading claims provided the Epsom effort is backed up.

J: Tom Marquand

T: Andrew Balding

His 2yo season was chaotic at times, including when winning a 1m AW novice, but there was no sign of awkwardness here on final 2yo start, nor when bearing up well in a tight finish to 1m Listed AW race on return; made most of the running and kept on steadily in 1m2f Listed race at Newmarket (good) since and this step up in trip should suit on pedigree; needs to find much more but the yard's outsiders have proved well worth a look in this race.

Something of a Wolverhampton specialist (3-5) though he has won on Polytrack at Kempton; the drop to 1m4f didn't help last time so the return to a longer distance should help, but his high draw may not be ideal even over this trip.
