Form & Verdict
230,000gns yearling; first foal of a 1m2f-1m6f winner (including Group 3; RPR 107); well backed into 7-2 for a Chelmsford novice (7f, AW) last month but he produced a powerful finish out wide to win by 4l; that was an impressive start and he sets a useful standard under a penalty.

Superior on AW but handicapped accordingly and he was a promising fifth over 1m4f here (good to firm) in August, when he raced wide early and was in the lead at the furlong pole; again faded when last of five in Listed race at Chester last time (1m4f, good to soft; tough task at weights) and this drop back in trip could prove ideal; drawn low and one to consider seriously.

J: Silvestre De Sousa

Best form on AW, on which he's 5-7 (including a 1m4f Listed win from the front last December) whereas 0-8 on turf; has shown easily his best turf form in two of his last three starts (gelded before latest) but much better is seemingly required today.

J: David Egan

Best form on AW, on which he's 5-7 (including a Listed win from the front) whereas 0-7 on turf; he now has a 10lb lower turf mark and managed sixth of 16 at Royal Ascot (1m6f, good to firm) on penultimate start, but that's easily his best turf form; gelded since a poor show on latest outing.

Form & Verdict
Prominent in the market for his Wolverhampton debut (7f, AW) last month but he never got involved before finishing a 6l fifth of six; should know more this time but this looks a tough assignment against Champagne Prince and plenty of improvement is needed; tongue-tie added.

Fifth foal; half-brother to 7f winner Doom (RPR 93); dam 1m-1m2f winner (including AW/US Grade 1; RPR 116), closely related to HK 1m2f Group 1 winner Eagle Mountain, half-sister to 1m 2yo Group 1 winner Sulk; looks the part on paper and he's an interesting newcomer for leading yard.

Winning miler at three for William Haggas and still holds rating of 85 on the level; quiet over hurdles so far and back from a break; trainer also has one of the form horses in this in the shape of King Bob.

Fair fourth of 14 at Chelmsford (1m2f, AW) last December on second 2yo start and rallied for 7l third of nine in Thirsk maiden (1m, good to firm) three weeks ago; ran okay in fourth on subsequent hurdle debut; begins handicap life on a realistic mark and this trip could be ideal; a possible.

Consistent on the Flat (0-3); rallied after being outpaced on return to action at Thirsk (1m, maiden; third, beaten 7l) last week; dam was a sprinter, which raises some concerns, but interesting to see how he copes with a quick switch to hurdles; noteworthy.
