Lightly raced since 7f win in 2022; has dropped some pounds this year and he wasn't far off his best when losing out to an unexposed one at Carlisle (1m1f, soft) 15 days ago; back up 2lb but likely to go well again; the more juice in the ground the better.

Fourth of 17 at Glorious Goodwood (1m, soft) last August off an 8lb higher mark on final start for Clive Cox; latest start (fifth of ten over 1m2f at Ayr) was a big step back in the right direction and gave hope for 1m4f, but there's clearly a bit for him to prove with trip/ground on AW debut.

Unexposed 3yo who has a solid record, with form figures of 2122; met some traffic on his way to finishing second in a conditions stakes at Goodwood (1m) most recently and held Group 1 entries at the time of that effort behind a smart-looking winner who has St James's Palace hopes; bred to rate higher still, being from an excellent family; hood (worn all starts) is removed; gets a big weight-for-age allowance and commands respect.

7f maiden winner at Newmarket last September; much-improved display on his reappearance in the 1m1f Feilden Stakes at Newmarket, surging to the front over 1f out but picked off in the final furlong by a promising colt; dropping back to 1m shouldn't be a problem; leading claims.
