Form & Verdict
Group 2 Gimcrack entry; comfortably won novice at Yarmouth (6f, good to firm) and very good seventh of 20 in the Group 2 Coventry at Royal Ascot (6f, good); likely to face softer ground today but that second effort is far and away the best form in this race and his debut is the second best.
