Form & Verdict
Bred for further; has Guineas, Dante and Derby entries; co-favourite, won maiden at Doncaster (1m, soft) in September; that form would make him the one to beat in this tiny field and he followed it with better when a slow-starting, 2l third of seven in Group 1 Futurity back at Doncaster (1m, heavy) in October, so it would be an almighty shock if he fails to win this.

Twice a winner on soft and third in last October's 2yo Group 1 on heavy at Doncaster; soundly beaten in the Derby on fourth run this season; first-time cheekpieces and back near the Doncaster form when second of five in Listed race at Hamilton (1m3f, good) in July on latest outing but he has something to find with the comfortable winner Kalpana; makes AW debut.

Form & Verdict
Failed to live up to market billing at Newmarket (7f, good) last August; front-running third of eight in novice at Carlisle (1m, good to firm; gelded since) was a lot better but does not suggest he is a match for God's Window.

Cheekpieces are turned to after four defeats, the last three over 1m; he's not overly progressive but brings solid form claims.

No match for a classy rival over C&D (soft) in April and better judged on last season's Carlisle third (1m, good to firm); needs improvement but it's not out of the question.

Just one win from his 25 starts but he was a good third over C&D last month and didn't see out 1m6f when fifth to Free Pic here last time; each-way claims back down in trip.

In the hands of John Butler when sporting first-time blinkers to score at Newcastle (1m2f, AW) in February; that's her only success but a keeping-on third here (1m4f, good) was a respectable effort a fortnight ago and this new trip is probably worth a go.
