J: Ryan Moore

T: Richard Hughes

Without a win since his second start as a 2yo, but several good efforts since as when beaten a length into third of 24 in the Newbury Spring Cup (1m, good ) last month; Ryan Moore keeps the ride and rain shouldn't be an issue, but the draw could have been kinder.

On a 14-race losing sequence but he was runner-up three times last term, including when beaten a head at Glorious Goodwood (1m1f, good); went off third favourite in a big field at the Curragh on reappearance but didn't give his running; on a retrieval mission with Ryan Moore booked.

J: Oisin Murphy

T: Richard Hughes

0-13 since winning in 2023 on his second start but he went close at Goodwood (1m1f, good) last August and again finished second at Yarmouth (1m1f, soft); an interesting runner despite uneven form.

Form & Verdict
Easy to back on his recent Redcar debut (7f, good) and ended up finishing in midfield, not ideally drawn as things panned out; can do better but others have more pressing claims.

J: Harry Davies

T: Hugo Palmer

Now 0-8 but does have some quite solid handicap form to his name this summer, particularly over this trip; weakened towards the finish when third of eight at Nottingham (1m, good to firm) five weeks ago; firmly in the mix with the drop back to 7f a help if anything.

Best form when runner-up at Salisbury in May (7f, good; rider said he hung left-handed); fair run when stepped up to 1m last time (not the best of runs); worth considering.

Maiden who's run exclusively over 7f to date but again shaped as though ready for this trip, despite his sprint pedigree, last time; is one to consider for a yard among the winners.

24,000gns foal, 42,000euros yearling; half-brother to winners Silca Mistress (6f-7f; RPR 87) and Suns Up Guns Up (1m-1m6f; 73): dam a 6f/1m winner (87); should have a future but perhaps best watched on debut.
