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.

Usually held up in rear; raced at 1m1f/1m2f for previous stable; record of 4-6 (over 6f/7f) last term for new yard featured wins in a major handicap at Newmarket and Group 2 at Newbury, both on good to firm ground; respectable fourth in the Group 1 Foret at Longchamp (7f, very soft) on final start; shapes as if this new trip is worth exploring and may rate higher still.

So nearly got up in the Wokingham at Royal Ascot in hat-trick bid and those progressive efforts over 6f were followed by his Bunbury Cup win at Newmarket over 7f, this time getting the better of a narrow verdict; those last two races were on good to firm; better still is needed from him but he looks sure to taste Group-race success at some point and it could be today.

Has shown useful and progressive form over 6f this term for new stable, winning twice on the other Newmarket track then strong-finishing second (nearly got up) in the Wokingham at Royal Ascot; due to go up 3lb in future; looks ready for this step back up in distance and commands respect.

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.
