Built upon debut fifth at Newmarket (7f, good) in July when keeping on for close third at Newbury (1m, good) last month; this brother to 12.5f heavy-ground Listed winner Sir Erec could continue to progress now upped in distance and he's a strong contender.

Disappointed over 1m4f at Royal Ascot and Glorious Goodwood last summer but returned from a gelding operation to win at Haydock (sole run at 1m6f, good to soft) in September; made a satisfactory reappearance at Epsom 15 days ago and is still lightly raced, so could have more to offer; good ground and softer would probably be better for him than good to firm.

Won heavy-ground Goodwood maiden at two and it was a convincing success on last year's reappearance/handicap debut at Sandown (1m2f, good) one year ago; disappointed at Royal Ascot and Glorious Goodwood subsequently but had been gelded when back on the scoresheet at Haydock (1m6f, good to soft) in September; drops in trip for this comeback but not fully exposed.

1-3 but all out in Goodwood maiden (heavy) this time last year; won in clearcut style on handicap debut at Sandown (also 1m2f, good; made most) on his reappearance in April; up to 1m4f but didn't shine in big festivals at Ascot and Goodwood subsequently; excuses both times, however, and there's plenty in his pedigree to suggest this trip will suit even better; definitely not one to give up on.

Interesting to see how this 115,000euros yearling goes in the betting on today's second start (one of two for yard); however, he was tailed off at 20-1 at Kempton (1m, AW) last month and a transformation is needed.

Acts on good and heavy ground; won off 2lb lower over C&D for Charlie Johnston last autumn and he ran well over hurdles last month, on his second run for current yard; seems tactically versatile and he's in the mix off a workable mark back on the Flat.

Useful on the Flat for Charlie Johnston, proving reliable and winning 2m handicap at Goodwood (heavy) last autumn (sold for 165,000gns soon after); 9-2, weakened to finish a well-held sixth of ten in Ascot juvenile (2m, soft) on hurdle debut in January; should be capable of a lot better in this sphere.

Not far off useful on the Flat for Charlie Johnston, proving reliable and winning 2m handicap at Goodwood (heavy) last autumn; changed hands for 165,000gns in October; likely to be suited by longer distances in due course but he commands respect on his hurdling debut even so.
