Ninth in the Windsor Castle after winning at Bath first time out; fared best of those who raced prominently when third of nine on nursery debut at Haydock and it was a very strong nursery in which he failed to fire at York's Ebor meeting (first-time blinkers); has only raced on fast ground but he has form claims.

Useful on his day for Brian Meehan, third to subsequent Group 1 winner American Affair over C&D (good to firm) last spring off an 11lb higher mark; might have needed both his runs for new connections, midfield over C&D at the Dante meeting last time; very dangerous if staging a revival.

Toca Madera

J: Mark Winn

T: David O’Meara

His form has gone the wrong way since he was third in this last year (good to firm), behind two subsequent Group-race winners, and he needs a good step forward from his recent stable/seasonal debut at Thirsk (5f, good to firm) where he was seventh; however, he's 8lb lower than 12 months ago and could be just the type that David O'Meara excels with; interesting contender.

J: Mark Winn

T: David O’Meara

Poor strike-rate for one of his ability when trained by Brian Meehan but he can go well fresh and is starting out for David O'Meara (sold 22,000gns last October) off a dangerous mark, some 6lb lower than when third in a hot 5f handicap at York's Dante meeting last May; possible he'll have one eye on that prize but still more interesting than many.
