Minor honours in Group 3 and Listed race at Royal Ascot 2023 and 2024, both on good to firm; however, he was not so hot at that meeting this year, wearing first-time cheekpieces after a year's absence; very lightly raced for his age and he has a chance if back on song.

Only seventh of 12 at Lingfield 18 days ago (1m AW) but a slow start didn't help matters and he looked badly in need of the experience; should step up on that but probably up against it nonetheless.

Some promise in novice events (best form on second outing) but failed to make an impact on handicap debut at Chester (1m2f, good) 18 days ago; slow start that day didn't help and maybe the track was against him, but a more positive show would have been needed in order to latch on to him here.

Unexposed 3yo who returned from a break with an improved third on her handicap debut at Kempton (1m, Polytrack; 33-1) two weeks ago; that was eyecatching from off the pace and she now drops back in trip but this well-bred filly has plenty of speed in her pedigree; interesting contender.
