Norfolk withdrawal at Royal Ascot (got upset in stalls) is flanked by promising performances over 6f on good ground at Newbury, winning readily the second time; about 4l behind Purosangue in the Molecomb at Goodwood over 5f but the soft going seemed to tax him; could well get much closer in this rematch.

Turned over in a messy race when 5-4 for his Newbury debut and was then withdrawn from the 5f Norfolk at Royal Ascot after getting upset in the stalls; confirmed himself a smart prospect when making no mistake from the front back at Newbury (6f, good); easy to knock that form but he's held in high regard and the stable seeks a hat-trick in this (last year's winner won a maiden the time before); looks quick enough for 5f.
