Form & Verdict
140,000gns yearling; ran green when a well-backed favourite at Windsor (6f, good to firm) in June, but he stayed on well for second behind a rival who finished runner-up in the Group 2 Richmond Stakes at Glorious Goodwood; that was a promising start and he has leading claims on that form; was withdrawn due to fast ground last month.

Record is 1-8; gelded prior to substandard effort last month; ran creditably in cheekpieces the time before and that headgear is reapplied today; however, he has something to find on balance of handicap form.

The sole 3yo in the field and he showed he's smart on just his fifth career start when 1l second of 15 in the Group 3 Jersey at Royal Ascot (7f, good to firm) in June, although it probably wasn't a vintage renewal of that race; Australian interests subsequently acquired a 50% share in him and he's moved from James Ferguson to Harry Eustace ahead of this first outing for 11 weeks.

Beat Covey, albeit with that rival was making his debut, in Southwell novice (7f, AW) in April when making it two wins from three starts; soft ground may not have been ideal when 9l fourth in the Group 3 Greenham at Newbury last time and he retains potential, but others look more compelling.
