Fifth foal; closely related to 9.4f AW winner Universal Command (RPR 87), half-brother to winners Imperial Aviator (1m2f-1m4f; 105) and Selecto (1m2f-12.4f; 76); dam well held 1m2f-1m4f Flat (50); ridden by a claimer on debut and watching brief seems the wise move.

Likely player on his best RPRs, which have been achieved over 7f, 1m and 11.5f; however, he's comparatively exposed (now 0-6) and not particularly solid on 2023 evidence; cheekpieces added back down in distance.

Runner-up at Yarmouth (7f) and Newbury (1m) last October, before tailed off on reappearance in his only handicap; back to form when tongue tied in maiden at Yarmouth (11.4f, good to firm) 15 days ago and this drop back in trip may well help, but marked overall improvement is needed.

Hampered and then hung left when fifth of seven on AW debut; found plenty on that form to make the frame at Newmarket (1m2f, good) and there's good reason to believe he can step up again as he learns; respected.

Verdict

Three stand out. LOVING FEELING looks nailed on to improve on his encouraging debut effort at Windsor when he was strong in the market. Barrier has been absent a good while but her Ascot form reads well and she too should appreciate today’s stiffer stamina test. Ibrahimovic is going the right way judged on his Newmarket run.[Alistair Jones]
