Well beaten in one run on soft ground last autumn but much more like it on his Tapeta comeback, when beating a subsequent winner (Approval, a stablemate of Rhetorical); will want to settle better upped from 8.7f but this trip should be fine on pedigree.

Well below market expectations on his soft-ground debut last summer and was then gelded; much more like it on his C&D comeback last month, despite edging both ways, and about sets the standard in receipt of weight from the penalised trio.

Progressive 3yo who ended that season with an excellent Goodwood win (1m2f, good to firm) in a strong handicap; topsy-turvy this year and never in the hunt on yard debut at Newbury following wind surgery but good to soft ground probably wasn't ideal; worth a good look off favourable mark.
