Form & Verdict
6f novice winner as 2yo and started this season with a Group 1 entry over this trip; was conceding a penalty when third in a good 7f novice at Newbury before not getting the clearest of runs late on when sent handicapping at Sandown (7f, good to soft; travelled strongly); unlikely that the surface has been scratched as regards his potential; interesting.

J: William Buick

T: Owen Burrows

Progressive last summer, winning two 6f handicaps at Ascot and ending the campaign with a fine second in a Group 3 over the same C&D; promising return at Salisbury and was well backed ahead of his Wokingham bid four weeks ago, only to drop away in the closing stages; versatile groundwise; still early days and new blinkers could give him a lift.

Well ahead of his mark when winning two C&D handicaps (good and good to firm) last summer and he chased Apollo One home in a Group 3 here on soft in October; caught out for a bit of pace at a crucial stage when turned over at a short price in a Listed Salisbury race on reappearance but he should come on for the run and this thorough test will be ideal; strong claims.

Improved for the return to 6f last summer, comfortably winning two handicaps at Ascot before a fine second in a Group 3 (soft ground) when last seen 231 days ago; still has low mileage and should make a bold bid for last year's winning stable.

Form & Verdict
Modest strike-rate of 4-33 (for one of his ability) but always a force to be reckoned with in 6f/7f handicaps at this course and again ran well at the Royal meeting, finishing seventh of 26 over the longer trip where he would have been closer with a clearer run; just a worry that best days have come in big fields and this might not be strongly run.

Three wins over 5f include last season's Royal Ascot honours; made the breakthrough over 6f at Doncaster (good to soft) in May, in first-time blinkers, and as good in defeat at Newmarket last time; races prominently and there's not sure to be lots of pace so seriously considered.

Looked a nice prospect as 2yo, his 3yo campaign started well and first-time blinkers backfired when highly tried in the 2022 Commonwealth Cup; missed 2023 and interesting that top connections have kept the faith and, having been gelded, there were positives to take from his Newcastle return (6f handicap; pulled hard and then ran into trouble); interesting.
