150-1 winner of the Group 1 Sussex Stakes at Goodwood (1m, good) in July when acting as a pacemaker; that form can't be taken at face value but he was fifth in the Group 1 City Of York Stakes (7f, good to firm) next time and that performance reads well in the context of most of today's opposition; versatile ground-wise; goes well fresh and could be involved on his reappearance.

Supplemented to act as pacemaker in Group 1 Sussex Stakes at Goodwood (1m, good) last month, when he slipped the field and won at 150-1; that took Goodwood record to 3-3; subsequently supplemented for this race at cost of £40,000; there have to be major doubts about whether he can reproduce that latest form, and on his previous exploits he has something to find; first run here.
