Belied his 33-1 odds when close third on recent debut at Leicester (7f, soft); different ground today but that was a promising introduction and he's in good hands to progress; respected.

Smart on his day and his third at Wolverhampton (6f) last July saw him record an RPR of 115; down the field in two runs for Mick Appleby this year and he now drops to 5f for the first time in his career; tongue tied for the first time.

Finished down the field on stable/seasonal debut at Chester (7.5f) this month but that doesn't tell the full story as he ran well for a long way from his wide draw and was hampered late on; he's dropped to an attractive mark and is just the type his new trainer does very well with.

Won a 7f Listed race here (good to soft) for Andrew Balding in 2024; still capable of smart performances for Marco Botti last year but wasn't at his best on final two starts, including in a course seller; sold for 45,000gns in October; a Group 1 entry at Royal Ascot suggests new connections are hopeful he retains all his ability.

Rediscovered his best with a visor added last summer, landing three handicaps, including at Ascot (7f, soft) off a mark of 103; cracking return when beaten 0.5l by Dreamliner in Group 3 at Saint-Cloud in March on soft; didn't come on as expected when beaten 7.5l into seventh by Wannabe Royal in Listed race at Naas 25 days ago; nothing got into it from off the pace that day so shouldn't be judged too harshly; handles soft and the one to beat.

British raider rediscovered his best when a visor was added last June, winning three handicaps from five starts, the last being the valuable Challenge Cup (7f, soft) at Ascot; ran right up to form on his stakes debut in a Saint-Cloud Group 3 (1m, soft) for seasonal return when a close runner-up; entitled to improve for that and top rated.

Has improved for this visor and he's readily won competitive 7f handicaps here on his last two starts (good to soft/soft); back up to 1m on forecast better ground today but his past record provides hope that he'll cope with both and this thriving 4yo may well take a 6lb penalty in his stride.

Got off the mark at the 21st attempt under an inspired ride by today's rider Matthew Lloyd Slater at Leicester (1m4f, good to firm) last month; needs to be kidded along and his resolution is more key than the 4lb rise he now picks up but should go close.

Some mixed results this year but he wasn't far away over C&D (good to firm) in June and was as close as he's ever been to a first win when beaten a neck at Yarmouth (1m2f) last week; on the premises.

0-19; best form for this yard when second in an AW classified in January, when wearing a tongue-tie and cheekpieces; that headgear combination was swapped for a hood when a respectable fourth at Leicester (also 1m4f, good to firm) a fortnight ago; drop back to this trip not an obvious plus.

Expensive to follow since picked up from Charles Hills (turned over three times as favourite this year) and is tried in first-time cheekpieces (wore a hood at Yarmouth in the spring); a good test over a stiff 7f is fine but he doesn't always convince.
