Form & Verdict
Midfield, beaten about 10l, at Newbury (7f) where he was prominent in the betting; looks the type to improve plenty on that debut form, being a Cracksman colt who cost 200,000gns as a yearling and holds a Derby entry; respected in this weaker-looking event.

Mostly creditable efforts in defeat this season, including second of nine at Windsor (11.5f, good to firm) last month; below-par sixth in this race on heavy ground last year; William Buick up but others arrive with more pressing claims.

Absent since his disappointing effort over 7f at Leicester two months ago (not beaten completely by the trip); otherwise runner-up twice over 6f, including a solid effort behind useful rival (subsequent Group 3 scorer) at Glorious Goodwood; sets a clear standard on that form.

Four wins this year include two over C&D (soft/good to firm), which makes him 2-2 here; normally reliable sort who can be excused his sixth at Windsor last time, when he was one of two that pursued a fruitless exploration of the far rail; could well bounce back.
