Form & Verdict
Has won the last three of his four starts, most recently the King George V Handicap at Royal Ascot (1m4f, good to firm); enjoyed the run of the race in a prominent pitch and he's up 7lb, but the runner-up has since won a Group 3 and this St Leger entry could also have lots more left in the tank.

Form & Verdict
Got up late on debut at Windsor (1m2f, good to soft) in April and respectable efforts in Listed (1m3f, soft) and Group 3 (1m2f, good to firm) races the next twice; having failed to settle off a steady gallop on those last two runs he could appreciate the likely strong pace in a bigger field on today's handicap debut, and this Golden Horn gelding has potential now upped to 1m4f.

Progressive this year, with a win at Newmarket (1m6f, good) in May and a good second at Glorious Goodwood (1m6f, heavy); merely mid-division in the Ebor recently which dents confidence in his claims today, but he could produce a bigger run if settling better and he's not written off.
