Clear of the third when beaten just a neck on debut in a big field at Newbury (6.5f, soft; 17-2) last Friday; it was a performance in keeping with his pedigree and he sets a useful form standard for the rest to aim at.

Without a Flat win since September 2024 and again vulnerable if the leading lights are at the peak of their powers, while his stamina for 2m on the Flat isn't guaranteed; however, this course winner ran pretty well when seventh of 22 in the 1m6f Ebor at York latest and might have a place shout.
