Form & Verdict
Built upon the promise of his first two runs (6f, AW) when dropped in trip and going close in first-time cheekpieces over C&D (good to soft) last Thursday; that performance puts him firmly in calculations on this first nursery start; first-time blinkers replace the cheekpieces.

J: Dylan Browne McMonagle

Won a valuable 7f handicap here last summer before bolting up in the Stewards' Cup one week later; another fine course run here last month when second of 16 and he was heavily supported for a Stewards' Cup repeat, only to stumble leaving the stalls; that run is easily excused but he is back up 2lb today and his stamina for 1m has to be taken on trust.

Surged to the front 1f out when dominant in this race (good to soft) 12 months ago; 7lb higher this time around but he was better than ever when second in a hot handicap at Ascot last week (7f, good to firm) when coming from further back than ideal; 2lb ahead of the handicapper and he has a fine chance of becoming the fifth horse to win back-to-back Stewards' Cups (Commanche Falls in 2021 and 2022 was the latest).

Easily won Goodwood seller (5f, good to firm) in June and sold for £40,000 at the subsequent auction; not disgraced when mid-division in the Super Sprint (5f, good to soft) on stable debut and 6f stretched him in Goodwood nursery (good to soft) last time; however, he's not obviously well treated.

Second at Salisbury (6f, good to firm) on debut then went one better there (6f, good to firm) in a race that has worked out well; reportedly unsuited by soft going when unplaced at odds-on in Chester novice latest; retains potential and he could go well if back on better ground.
