Strike-rate of 4-8 and unbeaten in two runs since gelded, winning with a bit in hand at both Newmarket (1m, good to soft) and over a little shorter at Chester (soft); can race freely so this big-field scenario should suit, but whether he'll be good enough is doubtful.

Dual winner at 2 who took his form up another notch after a gelding operation when making a winning reappearance in a 15-runner Newmarket handicap (1m, good to soft) 22 days ago; may have been helped by being held up in a race where the leaders appeared to go hard but it was still a pleasing performance and his stable's continued good form provides hope for better again.

Won on last month's debut at Yarmouth (5f, soft) and, after finishing down the field at Royal Ascot, he went close in a nursery at Ascot (6f, good to firm) three weeks ago; finished fast last time which suggests he can improve for this step up to 7f and he's respected up 4lb.
