Yard won this three times on the spin (2019, 2021, 2022; all had run previously, all odds-on); this late-foaled half-brother to their Epictetus (won here on debut, later successful in a Group 3) and Bullfinch among others is bred to be useful.

J: James Doyle

Has won two of his three starts, the latest on handicap debut at Newbury (1m2f, good) when value for his narrow defeat of Sovereign Sea; a 10lb rise is hefty enough but smacks of a 4yo with better days ahead of him.

Raced twice in his first season last year, winning at Newmarket (1m2f, good) then beaten favourite at Chester where the slower ground perhaps wasn't ideal; gelded since; has a good pedigree, represents major yard and remains open to progress; interesting handicap debutant.

Debut win at Newbury (1m2f) worked out well and wasn't far away from defying a penalty; went off too fast and didn't get home over 1m4f on the AW two months ago; gelded since and still has potential now tackling handicaps.

Made a winning debut at Newbury (1m2f, good) in May (form worked out well), but although a beaten favourite at Newmarket (1m2f, good) last month he did well to go down by just half a length having been keen early; this longer trip should suit and he is a half-brother to an AW winner; respected.

Lost a shoe and needed his debut experience at a time when his yard was quiet in the spring; much more like it last time (third successful since) but he'll need another decent step forward in a warm-looking novice.

Usually held up; did very well over 6f/7f last term, including summer wins in a major handicap and Group 2; made a cracking first attempt at 1m when 2l second to Notable Speech in the Lockinge at Newbury on reappearance and backed that up by filling the same position in the Queen Anne at the Royal meeting (straight 1m, good to firm); the reopposing Zeus Olympios was behind him on both occasions; sets a good standard.

Usually held up in rear; did very well over 6f/7f last term, including summer wins in a major handicap and Group 2, as well as nearly landing the Wokingham at this meeting; made a cracking first attempt at 1m when only 2l behind Notable Speech (who got first run) in the Lockinge at Newbury on reappearance, taking form figures for current yard to 1121142 and suggesting he's set for another productive campaign; plausibly still improving and promises to be suited by this return to a stiffer course; major contender.

520,000euros purchase at the Dubai breeze-ups last spring; won 7f Kempton novice (AW) on second start last autumn and better form when close fourth of seven in handicap at Newmarket (1m2f, good) four weeks ago, always prominent; needs better but will probably stay this longer distance and retains untapped potential after only three races.
