Form & Verdict
Made it third-time lucky with easy win in Chepstow novice (7f, good to soft; 4-9) in May but he came up short in third on his handicap debut at Sandown in June; still unexposed and half-brother to a 1m winner but he needs to find more at this new trip; all runs have been on good/good to soft.

Made all for ready win at Newmarket (good to firm) two weeks ago, proving suited by the step up to 1m and taking record to 2-5; not sure to get such an easy lead in this bigger field but otherwise brings good claims, being progressive.

Form & Verdict
Had a good spell in Qatar earlier this year, including a win at Doha (1m1f, good) in April; struggled at Newmarket last month back from a break but his run at Goodwood (7f, good to firm; cheekpieces added) last week was a promising effort in a race in which he didn't get much luck; dropped another 2lb and he looks interesting back up in trip.

Hampered when a never-nearer eighth of 18 in his sole 7f handicap in Britain, at Goodwood (good to firm) last July; much higher in the weights now following three 1m2f wins in Qatar over the winter and a remote finish in a Group 3 at Sandown (1m2f) recently left questions hanging.

Form & Verdict
Off the mark at the eighth attempt when coming from the rear to land a Class 3 at Ascot (1m, good to soft) last month; up 5lb but that was a personal best last time and he seems versatile ground-wise; respected in his follow-up bid.

Acts on good to soft and good to firm; won his last two starts as 2yo and has run respectably in all three handicaps this term (1m2f, 1m1f and 1m) but needs to find extra if he's to win on this step back up in grade.
