9st 2lb |
Won the London Gold Cup on this card last year and strong form when going close in Group races on next three starts (1m2f-1m4f, good to firm); respectable fourth in Qatar Group 3 (11.5f, good) in February and gelded since; could still have more to offer and he's respected in first-time blinkers. |

9st 3lb |
Ran well last autumn on sole soft-ground attempt, unraced on heavy; solid 2024 campaign features a success in major 3yo handicap at Newbury and unlucky second (ended up with too much to do) in the Group 3 Hampton Court Stakes at Royal Ascot, both over 1m2f; close third to Los Angeles in the Great Voltigeur (1m4f) most recently; largely progressive and should go well. |

Eight Flat races for Ralph Beckett, winning only on debut but showing useful form at up to 1m4f; made 200,000gns in October; has sometimes been headstrong (one of his best efforts was sole start in a hood) and although he represents notable new connections, he's not jumped a hurdle in public. |

20th Jun 2024 Good To Firm 1m 3f 211y Class 2 |
8st 9lb |
2yo win was 1m2f on soft; no improvement this season and although his sixth of 13 in the London Gold Cup at Newbury (1m2f, good; unraced on firmer) last time was creditable, others seem to shout out more loudly for 1m4f. |

9st 6lb |
Unraced on firmer than good; highly competitive in five of his seven races, winning three; blinkered on last two starts (1m4f, soft) when winning at Goodwood but racing too freely at Ascot, and the headgear is absent today; needs to resume improvement. |

24th Aug 2024 Good To Firm 1m 3f 218y Class 2 |

Only seventh in the London Gold Cup at Newbury but highly competitive in his other four races, winning twice and good third to the progressive Lord Of Love at Newmarket (1m4f, good) on latest start six weeks ago; looked a little awkward (hung left) at Newmarket (hung left) and blinkers are enlisted this time; big player if the headgear has a positive effect. |

Put two rather disappointing shows behind him with a creditable third at Sandown (1m2f, soft) two weeks ago; not far away on that evidence. |

6th Jul 2024 Good 1m 1f 209y Class 4 |

1st Jun 2024 Good To Soft 1m 2f 17y Class 2 |
8st 11lb |
Sole win from eight starts came last August, following a close call at this track (soft) the time before; has contested three 1m2f handicaps this term, easily best of those efforts when third at Sandown (good to soft; 2lb lower today) on second occasion; never dangerous in London Gold Cup at Newbury latest; others may bring more potential. |

9st 7lb |
Front-runner for his two wins, latterly against six rivals in handicap at Newmarket (off 6lb lower) in May; tongue tied that day and when well beaten in the London Gold Cup at Newbury (also 1m2f on good) five weeks ago, when he raced in mid-division; others bring more compelling claims. |

Front-running colt who beat six rivals in Newmarket handicap (1m2f, good; off 7lb lower) most recently, taking record to 2-4; open to further progress but isn't sure to get such an easy lead in this bigger field. |

16th May 2025 Good To Firm 1m 2f 56y Class 2 |
9st 5lb |
Improved form once he was gelded last summer, pipped at Glorious Goodwood (1m2f, good to firm) before drawing 4l clear at Ascot (1m2f, soft); below form both starts since but may have needed last month's reappearance outing (weak 11-1) and his stable is among the winners. |

Improved form after gelding op last summer, pipped at Glorious Goodwood (1m2f, good to firm) before drawing 4l clear at Ascot (1m2f, soft) in September; keen-going tendencies resurfaced and failed to stay 1m4f in Old Rowley Cup here final start; reappears over significantly shorter but he certainly isn't short of speed. |

Interesting on bits of form but has proved headstrong at times and his two efforts since being gelded leave a lot to be desired; chance depends on how well he responds to first-time headgear. |
