Group 3 win last season didn't help his handicap mark and this season is turning into a struggle, with this headgear combination tried last time at Chester.

T: Hugo Palmer

Won 7f 2yo Group 3 Tattersalls Stakes at Newmarket last September; well handicapped on that form but he's found it difficult to get competitive this season, most recently well beaten at 40-1 in 7f handicap at Glorious Goodwood; a first-time visor replaces cheekpieces.

Useful last term, the highlight a Group 3 win at Newmarket (7f, soft); has much weaker claims on 2025 form and still needs to prove he's trained on; admittedly may derive some benefit from the switch to a handicap.

Form & Verdict
Brings a 2-2 profile, having won 6f events at Naas (for Gavin Cromwell) and Ascot (overcame a tardy start, led final strides) on yielding/soft; gives the impression this extra furlong will suit; has potential and is interesting upped in class.

He's tended to ply his trade in Group and Listed races and he was a Listed winner at Longchamp (7f, good to soft) last May; beaten just under 4l when seventh of 18 at York (1m, good) three weeks ago on his first handicap start and this is less competitive; could be in the mix.

Built on reappearance third to Cosmic Year at Newmarket when winning a Longchamp Listed event (7f, good to soft) in May; creditable in-frame efforts under a penalty in Listed races at Epsom (7f) and Chantilly (1m) since; headgear worn in recent starts is left off; soft-ground winner who won't be inconvenienced by yesterday's rain.

Stablemate of Notable Speech; suited by good/firmer; has a very impressive record (161111) over 6f, narrowly justifying favouritism in the Sandy Lane Stakes (Group 2) at Haydock most recently; beat Ides Of March at Newbury (Listed) a week earlier; unable to run in the Commonwealth Cup due to being a gelding; major contender, with further improvement plausible kept to this trip and back from a well-earned break (had a busy May).
