Won two 1m6f handicaps last term, latterly in taking style from off the pace at Royal Ascot (good to firm) when wearing headgear first time; gelded and back to that sort of form when third of six in Group 2 at Newmarket (1m4f) 15 days ago, albeit not getting to grips with the leaders; no headgear that day (he has also tried a visor) but he's now fitted with first-time cheekpieces; bit to find if others are on their game.

J: David Egan

T: John & Thady Gosden

Won two 1m6f handicaps last term, latterly in taking style from off the pace at Royal Ascot (good to firm) when blinkered first time; slowly away on both subsequent starts, looking as if he was stretched by 2m in the Group 1 Goodwood Cup on first occasion (creditable) but tailed-off second favourite in the Ebor last time (visored; raced wide and made most); back to 1m4f, with headgear removed and needs overall improvement but the gelding operation may have helped.

Won 1m6f handicaps this term at Goodwood (good) and Royal Ascot (good to firm), in the latter blinkered first time and passing 11 of 15 rivals in the last 2f for a clearcut success, for which he's 8lb higher today; slow-starting fifth of eight in the Group 1 Goodwood Cup but that was creditable, particularly as it looked as if he was stretched by 2m; resumption of progress from this lightly raced 4yo in first-time visor may be possible.

0-16, he has shown bits of form when placed but his latest effort when eighth of 11 at Wolverhampton (1m6f) three weeks ago following a break was discouraging; his mark continues to fall but hard to recommend for win purposes.

Ran as though something was amiss on last of six Flat starts for Owen Burrows, but some of his form in that sphere was very promising and he'll be fine stamina-wise over hurdles for new stable; interesting to see how well he takes to this game.

Won over C&D in January on second handicap start and ran well in defeat the next twice, most recently fourth of 14 at Lingfield (2m, AW) in April in first-time cheekpieces (retained); this lightly raced 4yo could still have more to offer and he's a contender if fully tuned up after a break.

Form & Verdict
Peak effort came when a close second on his handicap debut here (1m3f) last month; has since found one too good in novice contests over C&D and at Ripon (1m4f, soft); could again be vulnerable to an improver.
