Form & Verdict
Raced only at 6f; rounded off his 2yo campaign with an AW novice win and returned to win a Windsor handicap (good to firm) in June; his subsequent sixth came in a traditionally strong 6f 3yo handicap at the Newmarket July meeting and the form has already been boosted; tends to race freely (wears hood) but shapes as if he'll stay 7f and makes obvious appeal taking on largely much more exposed opposition.

Form & Verdict
Won small-field 5f events at Salisbury and Musselburgh (both good ground) at the start of his 2yo season but has rarely threatened since; beaten just over 8l when fourth on his 5f Redcar reappearance and down the field in a Royal Ascot handicap (5f again) in a first-time visor since; the cheekpieces he wore three times last year are back in place now; has a fair bit to prove stepping up 2f in trip.

Scored comfortably on 1m Newbury debut (soft) in April; has disappointingly failed to build on that in three outings over 1m2f since and now drops 3f in trip with first-time blinkers replacing the cheekpieces he wore last time; needs to get back on track.

Mostly creditable efforts on Tapeta this winter but the handicapper has been winning the argument lately and he returns to turf off 2lb higher than when successful at Pontefract (1m2f, good) last summer; likely to be on the premises but might be vulnerable for the win.

7lb lower than when winning at Epsom (6f, good to firm) in July 2022 but weakened to finish a remote fourth (not helped by being hampered by a loose horse but it's only a partial excuse) in that same contest four weeks ago; not an obvious one after that but a career-low mark and the presence of William Buick in the saddle mean he can't be dismissed.

A string of good runs at Brighton before collecting by 3l over C&D in a race that panned out to perfection; bled from the nose when disappointing at Brighton last time but he's 7lb higher than for his penultimate run and could have competition for the lead back on AW.
