1m winner at Newmarket and York last summer but failed to shine on last two outings, when co-second favourite for the C&D Cambridgeshire on first occasion; only mid-division when 13-2 in the Spring Cup at Newbury two weeks ago but not beaten far and the draw looked a problem; not ruled out.

9st 8lb

J: William Buick

T: John & Thady Gosden

Below par on his last two 3yo starts but he'd previously won competitive 1m events at Newmarket and York (both good to firm) in the summer, and he did well to prevail at York after having to wait for a run; only 3lb higher here and he'll be a major player if ready to roll after six months off.

J: William Buick

T: John & Thady Gosden

3yo who won good handicaps this summer at Newmarket (1m, good to firm) and York (1m, good to firm); underwhelming when mid-division in the Cambridgeshire three weeks ago, even allowing for the 1m1f trip, but he's not written off in view of his previous abundant promise.

Won on the other Newmarket course (1m, good to firm) in July then not quite at his best on soft ground at Goodwood; made it 4-6 for the year at York (1m, good to firm) last month, getting up late in that big-field 3yo handicap; this trip could prompt further improvement; firmly in calculations.

Record of 3-5 this season features wins in notable 1m handicaps at Sandown and Newmarket; beaten favourite at Glorious Goodwood last time but may still have more to offer.
