Won the Gimcrack as a 2yo (Group 2; form worked out well); better than ever on AW earlier in the year, making most in a 7f Listed event at Wolverhampton in March; 15-2 fourth favourite for a York Group 2 ten days ago but found nothing when asked for his effort, eventually coming home in his own time; has the ability to go well despite a penalty but he does have a point to prove all of a sudden.

Missed last season; retains every ounce of ability judged on AW performances this year, last time landing a Listed prize at Wolverhampton (7f) to take his overall record to 3-6; possibly still has further improvement in him; interesting returned to the C&D of his 2024 Gimcrack win.

6f AW win on his 2yo debut; took his form to another level when winning the Group 2 Gimcrack Stakes at York; returned from a 526-day absence with a good third in a 6f Listed race at Lingfield five weeks ago and he should be sharper today; drawn widest back up at 7f but still a leading contender.

6f AW win on his 2yo debut; took his form to another level when winning the Group 2 Gimcrack Stakes at York on his latest start; that was 526 days ago but the form was strong and he's an intriguing runner; market strength would be encouraging.

Has performed creditably in Group 2 events since debut success, finishing a close fourth in the Coventry at Royal Ascot (6f, good to firm) and third in the Vintage Stakes at Goodwood (7f, good); needs a bigger effort to win this race and is a similar type to Billboard Star.
