Resumed from ten months off with a promising third at Newmarket (1m2f, good to firm) in May on his sole run for Richard Hannon; now back with his former stable and peak efforts give him interesting prospects.

Well backed when making a winning stable debut at Newcastle (1m) in February on first start for 15 months; below par in two starts in the spring but had another break since and fresh might be the time to catch him.

Form & Verdict

Good spell in Qatar earlier this year, including a win (1m1f, good) in April; best run in Britain when second of six in a 3yo handicap at Newmarket (1m, good to firm) 26 days ago; that is solid form and he's much respected under Oisin Murphy; cheekpieces worn the last twice are left off.

Verdict

The suggestion in an open race is AAFOOR, whose latest Newmarket second is decent form and Oisin Murphy takes over in the saddle now. Fellow 3yos Native King (second choice), Phoenix Passion and Monkey Island head the many dangers along with Gloucestershire. [Andrew Sheret]
