Gelded since finishing last when favourite for the Britannia at Royal Ascot (1m); had progressive 7f form previously and recorded a wide-margin success at Newmarket (good) the time before, taking record over this trip to 2211; may still have more to offer and remains of interest.

J: Oisin Murphy

T: Hugo Palmer

Yet to run a bad race as the sixth at Newmarket (1m, good) on handicap debut was a close one; back over 7f there and sent off the 4-11 favourite, he romped home by the thick end of 10l to earn today's 11lb higher mark; that rise asks serious questions, but he has the wind in his sails and Oisin Murphy would have had options for this.

Ended 2025 with an AW win over 7f (made most); thoroughly encouraging reappearance here (1m, good) in April on handicap debut, where he looked likely to reward market support but the race slipped from his grasp late on; major chance off the same mark back at 7f.

Solid record over 7f last autumn comprised a couple of second-places, including at Newmarket, then odds-on success at Newcastle (AW); may well progress further and do well in handicaps; warrants respect.

Starman colt who ran a debut full of promise when second to a Godolphin odds-on shot at Newmarket (7f) 12 days ago; will set a good standard for the rest to aim at if making the anticipated improvement.
