Form & Verdict
Bolted up at Pontefract (6f, heavy) in April but that was in a small field and he's now 9lb higher; probably doesn't stay 7f so a below-par run in the Greenham at Newbury last time is best ignored, but he'll still need a career best if he's to defy top weight back in a handicap.

Won this event on good ground last year, battling well to beat another British challenger, with Big Gossey a little unlucky in a close third; struggled in two Group 1s in the autumn, including the Ascot event won by Powerful Glory; out of the money, along with the shorter-priced Spycatcher, on seasonal debut at Doncaster in March; this is a deeper race than last year's.

Six wins from just 16 attempts and he landed the Group 2 Greenlands Stakes at the Curragh (6f, good) in May; however, he was only eighth in this race 12 months ago and finished last in the Sprint Cup at Haydock last month; unlikely to be good enough.

Form & Verdict
Got better with virtually every run last term, winning a nursery at Sandown (5f, good) in August and going down only narrowly in similar event at Ayr (6f, good to soft; subsequently gelded) the following month; edging up the weights and will need another personal best to make a winning reappearance, but that's not out of the question.
