4yo who made his debut in March; big improvement racing up with the pace over 1m2f at Windsor on last two outings, winning a maiden (soft) and seven-runner handicap (good to firm); he was in charge through the final 2f last time and could be well treated despite a 7lb rise.

Fulfilled previous promise when making all at Goodwood (1m, soft) and was eased off once his chance had gone when sent off the 2-1 favourite for his handicap debut at Newbury (7f, good) on his final 2yo start; good pedigree (by Frankel out of US turf Grade 1 winner) and interesting to see if his supporters' return on reappearance.

Won final start as 2yo (1m, AW) and reappeared with a striking performance in handicap at Newmarket (1m2f, good to soft) in April, rearing as the stalls opened but soon back in touch and cruising to the front over 1f out, before striding 4l clear; sixth of seven in Listed race there (1m2f, good; second favourite) singularly failed to back up that good impression but, having been withdrawn at Royal Ascot last week because of good to firm ground, the promise of that win can't be forgotten.
