Off the mark in a Cork maiden on return and even better form in defeat since including a 3l fourth at Royal Ascot behind Merchant (form boosted); turned over when favourite at Navan last month but wasn't seen to best effect (allowed winner to get first run) and he can gain compensation here.

100-rated Cork maiden winner (10.5f, soft) ran an excellent race off 94 on handicap debut in the King George V Stakes at Royal Ascot last month (1m4f, gd-fm); this shorter trip is fine and he holds leading claims.

J: Ben Coen

T: J P Murtagh

Won a Cork maiden (soft) on return and ran well when the runner-up that day made the most of a weights concession from him at Roscommon (good) over three weeks later, both at about 10.5f; likely to stay and has had just four races but he needs to raise his game again for this handicap debut.

Solid efforts in maidens over 7f and 8f last year; showed improved form to beat Arouet 1.75l on return in a Cork maiden over this trip on soft; 5lb worse off with that rival and faces faster ground but still has to be respected with more to come.
