All five races at 7f, the first four on soft and heavy, but good ground made no difference to him when runner-up to an improved one at Newmarket nine days ago (hood discarded); beaten favourite on last four starts but the drop to 6f is well worth a go.

All four starts over 7f on soft/heavy ground; won on debut last September and good second over C&D a fortnight ago in his first handicap; up 5lb but open to further progress for top trainer and he's on the shortlist.

Raced only on soft/heavy; debut scorer last September; disappointing in the Horris Hill (subsequently gelded) but fared better at Doncaster on reappearance and that form has substance; nicely bred and should still have more to offer; has to be feared.

Dam was second in the 1,000 Guineas; comfortable debut win at Sandown (7f, soft) in September but he flopped when favourite for Group 3 at Newbury (7f, heavy) in October; hooded both starts, now also gelded; it's possible he will bounce back to justify the good debut form.
