Lightly raced since winning both races at two; ran okay in two Group 3s to start this season but has struggled to land a blow in 2m4f/1m6f handicaps the last twice; in calmer waters here but with a bit to prove.

J: Hector Crouch

4yo who has had only seven races and acts on any going; fourth in 1m4f Group 3 at Newbury on reappearance hinted he may have staying potential; although running creditably, his subsequent 2m Group 3 and 2m4f Royal Ascot handicap didn't really prove his stamina and he now has his first go at 1m6f; whatever his ideal trip may be, he needs some improvement.

4yo who has had only six races; keeping on for fourth over 1m4f at Newbury (good) on 2025 reappearance hinted he may have staying potential; that wasn't confirmed over 2m here (good to firm) later in April, in his third Group 3, but that was a slowly run race and this is his first handicap.

Acts on heavy; finally off the mark in 1m novice event at Windsor in June; folded tamely in 1m3f handicap at Glorious Goodwood next time and again weakened out of it at Kempton (1m3f, AW) five weeks ago; that's led to wind surgery and today's visor, and he'd be a contender if back to his best.

Met all sorts of trouble on reappearance and has otherwise been in the frame every time; second off this mark at Haydock (1m, good) before getting off the mark by a neck in a novice at Windsor (1m, good to firm) five weeks ago; this marked increase in trip is interesting, including as his dam was a 1m3f winner and close relation to a King George winner at 1m4f.

350,000gns half-brother to seven winners including Beat The Bank (7f-1m Group 2; RPR 121); rallying 4l sixth of 11 at Newmarket (7f, good) but his Ffos Las run (7.3f, good to soft) two weeks later was disappointing; four of today's rivals have better form.

Sole win at 1m on Polytrack; close third over the extended 1m1f on Tapeta last time but has more to prove at 1m2f on turf, even if this is a better fit than the Class 2 he ran in at Newmarket in July or even the 1m1f on Sandown's stiff finish in June; still has a gap in his record, though.

Stayed on for second on debut at Deauville (7f, good to soft) last August; unplaced favourite at Newbury the following month but that was on heavy ground; gelded since and brings potential to this 3yo campaign for his top Newmarket yard; leading claims if tapping back into initial promise.
