Has been thereabouts in a lot of good handicaps this season, most notably when touched off in the last stride in the Colm Quinn Mile at Galway; not beaten far in the Irish Cambridgeshire last time and likely to give a good account again.

Form & Verdict

Won a valuable handicap at Goodwood in May and a fine third in the Britannia at Royal Ascot; below that form since and others look more likely here.

Form & Verdict

Smart for this stable at three before switching to Australia where he won two 7.5f Group 2s; also runner-up in 7f Caulfield Group 1 on heavy ground last September; not much encouragement from two runs in big Curragh handicaps this year; others preferred.
