9st 2lb |
Ran three times last year, posting a Listed second in October (6f, soft; behind Purosangue), and reappeared with a win in the Group 3 Greenham at Newbury (7f, good to soft) last month, showing pace; surplus stamina will be no bad thing in today's conditions and he can give another good account. |

Runner-up in a Group 3 over 7f at Newbury in April; dam was very well suited by 6f on slow ground and this one looked to be cut from the same cloth when finding plenty in his first run at this trip, winning a handicap over C&D (soft) 15 days ago; looks good for a big run. |

3-3 in 2yo campaign (7f, AW/heavy) and has run well in some Group 3 and Listed races in this 3yo season, finishing third at Saint-Cloud (7f, very soft) most recently; has first crack at sprinting and the softer the ground the better; could be on a good mark for handicap debut and he's respected. |

8st 12lb |
Listed runner-up last October (6f, heavy) and reappeared with close fifth in Group 3 Greenham at Newbury (7f, good to soft); however, three lesser runs have followed and a return to form is needed in first-time headgear on second start for this stable; new trip is not an obvious plus on breeding. |

22nd Aug 2024 Standard 0m 7f 0y Class 2 |
9st 9lb |
Listed runner-up at Doncaster (6f, heavy) last October and close fifth on reappearance in Group 3 Greenham at Newbury (7f, good to soft); well-held fourth in last two runs for Karl Burke but he bled from the nose at Haydock (Group 2) last time and is now back in calmer waters on his handicap/stable debut; needs a close look back up in trip. |

Listed runner-up at Doncaster (6f, heavy) last October and close fifth to Esquire on reappearance in Group 3 Greenham at Newbury (7f, good to soft); however, he needs something extra today and also has to bounce back from a below-par run at Newmarket (7f, good) three weeks ago. |

Runner-up in the Group 2 Mill Reef Stakes at Newbury (6f, heavy) as a 2yo but hasn't built on that this year, disappointing when only ninth of 11 in Goodwood handicap last time; needs a subsequent gelding operation to have had a positive effect. |

3rd Aug 2024 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 2 |

Campaigned mostly at 6f but ran creditably in Group 3 on sole 7f attempt (good to soft); respectable third in Salisbury Listed event (good) most recently and the winner gave that form a boost here on Wednesday; the cheekpieces worn last time are retained; prominent in calculations. |

9th Nov 2024 Soft 0m 6f 2y Class 1 |
9st 5lb |
Appreciated the return to soft ground when winning at Pontefract in July and his close second of 21 at York in October (both 6f on soft) was even better, doing very well to get as close as he did considering he took an age to warm up; has potential for better yet but will need a good gallop to be seen to best effect. |

Best efforts have come on soft ground, winning 6.5f sales race at Doncaster as a 2yo and 6f handicap at Pontefract in July; wasn't disgraced in the Ayr Gold Cup three weeks ago, although never able to land a blow on a much firmer surface; may still have untapped potential, and he's an interesting contender with conditions likely to be in his favour. |

Impressed at Ayr on his debut last May and went down narrowly in the Coventry Stakes at Royal Ascot (6f, good), doing best of the larger central group; subsequent absence is the obvious concern but he returns at a realistic level and sets an extremely high standard for a race of this nature. |

Has progressed from handicaps (three successes) to pattern races, winning Listed event at Deauville in July and posting a career best when beaten a short neck by Spycatcher in Group 3 on the same course (6f, soft) in August; goes well in the mud and may not have reached his limit just yet. |

20th Jun 2024 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |

Career best when getting up late on in a 7f Listed event on the AW in March but he has beaten just one rival in his two subsequent appearances, in the Group 3 Greenham (7f) and a 6f handicap at Newmarket; not a lot went right last time but this stiff 1m could trouble him, as might a tough-looking mark; hood added. |

24th Aug 2024 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 2lb |
Smart as 2yo, placed in the Group 3 Acomb at this meeting (on good to firm) before winning a Listed race at Doncaster (6f, heavy); retains ability but he's not obviously well handicapped and the suspicion is he would prefer good ground or softer; gelded since last start. |

3rd Aug 2024 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 2 |

Acts on any ground; ties in with Indian Run on York form last August; good second in the Richmond here the time before and bagged Listed honours later in 2yo campaign; got going too late in 6f AW Group 3 most recently, shaping as if this return to 7f will suit; could go well. |

Tough performer at two, winning a Hamilton maiden and a Doncaster Listed event (both 6f) as well as chasing home Vandeek in the Richmond Stakes; flopped in the Greenham on his return ten weeks ago (7f, good to soft) and now comes here with a point to prove. |
