90,000gns half-brother to Group-placed 7f 2yo winner Ornellaia; 14-1 for his Yarmouth debut (6f, good) two weeks ago but he was always prominent and made a bold bid before finishing third of 11 behind a Godolphin hotpot; sets a fair standard on that promising effort and he's the one to beat.

Unexposed at 6f; this mark is in range judged on his two placed efforts this winter; failed to fire on Good Friday but he received a kick before the start which won't have helped; no surprise to see him bounce back.

Made the frame in valuable handicaps at Royal Ascot (5f, good to firm) in June and Newmarket (6f, good to firm) in July, but then ran poorly at the Shergar Cup two weeks ago; his record now reads just one win from ten attempts and he has something to prove in a race as competitive as this one.

Ran his best race when keeping on for fourth of 24 in the Palace Of Holyroodhouse at Royal Ascot three weeks ago (5f, good to firm; cheekpieces first time); looked ready for the return to 6f on that occasion but is perhaps vulnerable to a few lurking further down the weights.

Beaten around 7l at single-figure odds in both his runs, most recently when seventh of nine at Doncaster (good to soft) last month; still early days for this well-bred colt but he needs improvement back in trip.

Couple of ordinary efforts on the AW since unseating in February but he returns to turf on a career-low mark, 1lb lower than when winning over C&D last spring; the hood returning could help and he ought to fare better.

Couldn't quite seal the deal having led over 1f out at Wolverhampton last week (8.6f); decent claims on that, though not sure it was solely the draw which contributed to a moderate effort on Nottingham's turf before that (RPR of 45 in his division versus Glitter Code's 62 in his).

Gelded after final 2yo start and well-backed second favourite for handicap debut at Southwell (7f, AW) on return, hanging over 1f out but doing his best work at the finish in a close third; 1m looks sure to suit and another step forward is likely if he proves effective on turf.
