Form & Verdict
Shaped nicely at Goodwood on last month's debut (7f, good to firm) and confirmed that promise when third of nine at Ascot on soft ground 23 days ago; should stay this trip and although he's the only maiden in the field, he's not out of it with further progress expected.

No win since 2yo, having come up short in Group races, Listed races and four handicaps; fourth of 14 off this mark at Ascot (1m4f) latest was his closest finish in that winless period and he kept on well, so some hope is revived.

Blinkered on four of his last five starts; flopped when 5-4 favourite behind Elysian Flame at Beverley (2m, good to soft) in April but this month's second of nine at Salisbury (1m6f, good; made most and rallied well) was his closest finish since 2yo and gives some renewed hope.

J: Rossa Ryan

T: Ralph Beckett

Won Newmarket maiden on his debut in 2024 but hasn't kicked on from good juvenile form; fair efforts when fifth in quite valuable AW handicaps in February and March but he proved a disappointing favourite on return to turf when beaten 14l at Beverley (also 2m, good to soft) last month; others hold greater appeal.

4yo who has had only seven races; can race freely but there's still a feeling he could have a bigger performance in him and he shaped quite well under a change of tactics (went from the front) when 4l fifth of nine in the Queen's Prize at Kempton (2m, AW) 18 days ago.

Overcame his inexperience to win a 1m maiden at Bath two weeks ago (good ground); that form lags behind his rivals but surprising if he isn't capable of a good deal better.

Bright start as 2yo in 2024 but then trailed the field in a Group 3 that October and, following an 80,000gns sale, has raced only twice for this yard, beaten 7l in one start last year and again on his comeback at Newbury 33 days ago; encouraging he's now putting a couple of runs together, though, so well worth a market check; hood added.

Won a maiden at Bath (1m, good) on debut and improved when third of five in a conditions stakes at Epsom (8.5f, heavy) two weeks later; he dropped right out, however, when 40-1 for a 1m2f Group 3 in October; this is his first run since leaving the Crisfords for 80,000gns that month and he was soon gelded; should stay but needs improvement.

OR:

Form & Verdict
Down the field at Doncaster on debut in June, after which he was gelded; lots to like about his Goodwood win 26 days ago (1m, good), still green but powering home to beat nine rivals (third, fourth and fifth have won since); has to concede weight all round but he's promising.

Made it four wins from six starts when landing a Listed race at Newcastle (1m, AW) in April; won on good and soft ground in 2yo campaign; further improvement is needed today but he's in good hands to continue to progress and his dam was a 1m2f Listed winner; not ruled out now up in trip.
