9st 8lb

J: Cieren Fallon

T: William Haggas

From three visits to York he's won a Gimcrack and finished an unlucky-in-running second in this 12 months ago; gelding operation has triggered a further upturn in his fortunes, winning Listed/Group 2 races over this trip (good ground) on either side of a close fifth in the 6f Group 1 sprint at Royal Ascot (running on); it was his second run in as many days at Glorious Goodwood (after winning the Lennox) when traffic issues scuppered all hope in the Sussex Stakes; the worry is this week's rain as he's had precious little racing on ground softer than good and hasn't shone when he has.

J: Cieren Fallon

T: William Haggas

Gelded prior to this season's impressive win at Haydock (7f Listed) and respectable fifth at Royal Ascot (6f Group 1); his 1m form comprises a respectable fifth in the 2025 Queen Anne and two lesser efforts on Australian soil; still needs to prove he's a genuine miler but he arrived late to win the 7f Group 2 Lennox here yesterday and is probably in the form of his life.

Gelded prior to impressive win at Haydock (7f Listed) and respectable fifth at Royal Ascot (6f Group 1) this season; fared best of the runners from off the pace when second to Witness Stand in this contest 12 months ago; top on ratings in this bid to go one better.

J: Cieren Fallon

Runner-up in the Group 1 Commonwealth Cup over C&D (good to firm) at this meeting in 2024; campaigned over 7f-1m since that November; reappeared at Haydock (7f, good) last month having been gelded and powered clear for impressive Listed win; the drop back to 6f poses a question but the stiff track and strong pace will be in his favour, and he could have a part to play.

J: Cieren Fallon

T: William Haggas

Won the Group 2 Gimcrack as a 2yo and finished second in the Group 1 City Of York (7f, good to firm) last August; made no show in two Group 1s in Australia in the autumn and he's since been gelded; returns in a much lower grade than usual and very dangerous if ready to roll after six months off.
