Ex-Andrew Balding; inconsistent last year but smart on his day, notably when winning a 6f handicap at Newmarket's Guineas meeting; in good form in Bahrain this year, most recently showing plenty of pluck to win a local Grade 1 (5f, good) in March; returns to Britain with an inflated mark but he's drawn against the rail and has the pace to capitalise; significant rain would be a query.

J: Ryan Sexton

T: Julie Camacho

Quality performer back in the day for Andrew Balding but he's looked on a slippery slope in the last 12 months; showed signs of a revival at Doncaster (3l sixth of ten) last time but that was in a messy race and he needs to build on that.

Form & Verdict
3-3 as a 2yo, notably coming from well back to win the Gimcrack at York (6f, good); sixth in last season's 2000 Guineas on his reappearance but a shade disappointing returned to sprinting afterwards; gelded prior to his Chester fourth (also tried blinkered) when last seen nine months ago; perhaps getting back on a forecast sound surface will help and his style of racing should be suited by the demands of a big-field handicap.

3-3 as a 2yo and ran with credit when sixth in the 2,000 Guineas on his return, but only third of seven behind Shaquille at Newbury (6f, good; 8-11) in May and finished further behind that rival in the Commonwealth Cup at Ascot (6f, good to firm; first-time cheekpieces) the following month; has been gelded since and blinkers are now given a go; major chance on these terms, but he has something to prove.
