Form & Verdict
Took 15 attempts to get off the mark in Britain but has landed his last two, at Wolverhampton (7f, AW) early last month and over C&D (good to firm) seven days ago; has gone up by the same amount as his penalty for his latest success and much respected in hat-trick bid.

J: Clifford Lee

Acts on good to soft but soft would be a worry; tricky to settle and is held up in rear; won the Cesarewitch at Newmarket (2m2f; 10lb higher today) last October and he's looked just as good on most starts since, without winning but late traffic woes seemingly prevented him from going close last time; without his usual jockey Billy Loughnane today but he was a close second last term under Clifford Lee; probably involved if he can get the breaks.

Tricky to settle and is held up in rear; won the Cesarewitch at Newmarket (2m2f, good to firm; 9lb higher today) last October and had some very solid AW form over 1m2f-2m this year; back to near his best when eighth of 20 at Royal Ascot (2m4f) but he needs to hit a new high if he's to win this.

Running with credit lately, but losing run up to 16 despite having fallen a long way in the weights; needs a strong pace to aim at and that doesn't seem likely in this smallish field.

Went close on his York debut (1m, soft) last October but has regressed markedly since; dropping back in trip and application of cheekpieces will need to make quite a difference.

Ended 2025 with a 7f win at Chelmsford and he has run well in competitive handicaps on turf this summer, most recently finishing third of 18 at York (7f, good to firm) three weeks ago; no obvious reason why he wouldn't make another bold bid.

Form & Verdict
Placed in all three starts over 7f on the AW, but not so good in one go on turf when a well-held fourth of eight at Brighton (1m, good) in May; possible to forgive a modest effort on that track, though, so not dismissed on handicap debut.

Always been best on the AW but off the mark on turf in a 0-50 classified event ten days ago; did a lot of racing over this trip in the past but does seem more effective over 6f these days and history suggests he's no good thing to back up Yarmouth.

Both his wins have come at Southwell (6f/7f, AW) and he's offered little in three 6f/7f handicaps on turf this summer; others are preferred.
