Form & Verdict
Smart colt who is 2-4 at Ascot, including Group 2 win (on the round 1m) last July; finished fourth in the 2022 Queen Anne Stakes; one to catch fresh having won first time out in each of his three seasons of racing; acts on good to soft; solid claims.

Couple of notable 7f wins early in career but raced mainly at 1m since; successful three times this term and ran respectably in the Joel Stakes here most recently; not crying out for this drop back in trip; below-par third in this race two years ago.

In top form this month, comfortably winning the Group 3 Superior Mile at Haydock (1m, good) and following up under a penalty in a Listed race at Sandown (1m, soft); he's a leading contender today.

Second in the Group 1 Lockinge at Newbury in May and comfortable winner of a Group 3 at Haydock on latest start; one of the leading contenders on form, even with his penalty, but he has plenty to prove on soft and peak efforts have been on good or firmer.

Beaten favourite in AW Listed event when last seen; has shown big promise in both turf runs, winning at Newmarket (1m) as a 2yo then going close in the Sandown Classic Trial (1m2f) on 3yo reappearance; retains potential and looks interesting back on grass.

Ran respectably in Listed race here (1m2f, good; more to prove on softer) on penultimate start, a race won by Liberty Lane; made it 0-10 since debut win when last of six in Listed race at Sandown four weeks ago, which he needs to bounce back from; others appear to have the edge.

Winner of this race for Johnny Murtagh, third of 19 last season when trained by George Boughey; generally disappointing since and the most recent of his five wins was for Murtagh in a 7f conditions race at Tipperary in April 2022; change of stable for 2025 campaign.

Acts on soft and good to firm; smart performer who has bits of Group 1 form; didn't need to reproduce it when justifying favouritism in Listed event here (1m2f) last September, then came up well short in the Champion Stakes (wore tongue-tie/blinkers); peak figures give him a leading chance on seasonal debut.
