Form & Verdict
Recorded his first handicap success with a game front-running effort over C&D three weeks ago (good to firm); not fully exposed in this headgear and a 2lb rise isn't excessive.

J: George Wood

T: Richard Spencer

Several good efforts in defeat against top 6f handicappers this year but he never shifted much in the weights and the return to soft ground may have made the difference when he made nearly all to win the Ayr Gold Cup recently; serious rain would bring him into the reckoning.

Yet to win this year but he's run some mighty races in defeat, in the frame in the Stewards' Cup and last week's Portland (only run out of second in the closing stages); should run his race again but there will probably be a few stronger.

Fourth to stablemate Two Tribes in the Stewards' Cup at Goodwood but then ran poorly in another big field at York and doesn't look to have much in hand of the handicapper.

Improvement a possibility now handicapping but he was readily brushed aside by Apotheosis at Lingfield 19 days ago and a 6lb turnaround in the weights may not be enough to reverse the placings.

Won very easily under Billy Loughnane at Ascot (7f, soft; off 15lb lower) three weeks ago, opening his account at the fifth attempt; bred to do better still, being a brother to his stable's dual Group 1 winner Saffron Beach; one to follow.

Fine campaign last season included wins at Naas (6f, gd-yld) and Leopardstown (7.5f, good); excellent run off this mark in 1m premier handicap here (good) in June; below best when last seen at Galway in August; handles softer ground and could go well if he's fit.

Has done really well since joining current trainer this year, winning at Naas and Leopardstown (beating Fort Vega) and good second in Curragh premier handicap; fast ground may not have suited last time; cheekpieces now tried and rider's claim a positive.

Winner of two recent starts at 6f/7.5f; 0.75l second behind Slieve Binnian at the Curragh last time (1m, good); didn't get a clear run that day and ran on late; raised 3lb but he looks a big player.

Form & Verdict
Promising 7f debut at Kempton in June before winning novice events at Haydock and Lingfield (both on good ground, latterly in this combination of accessories); further progress required now handicapping but he's bred to be smart and should have more to offer.

Confined to 7f for all his runs and the winner of two novices on good ground; didn't get the best of runs when a 3l third at Goodwood two runs back and then raced freely with no cover at Doncaster; retains potential and probably quick enough for 6f.

Won his last two novice events (7f, good) and he's finished third in the last two of his three handicaps; didn't get much luck in a Class 3 event at Goodwood two weeks ago and he still has potential after only six starts; in the mix.
