Form & Verdict
Shaped nicely at Goodwood on last month's debut (7f, good to firm) and confirmed that promise when third of nine at Ascot on soft ground 23 days ago; should stay this trip and although he's the only maiden in the field, he's not out of it with further progress expected.

Responded well to first-time cheekpieces in useful handicap (1m4f, soft) on Derby day when last seen, taking Epsom record to 2-2; similar type to High Degree and looks a major player in the retained headgear.

Reserve; has usually run with credit here, including on good to firm in May, and scored (from Night Breeze) with first-time cheekpieces under Warren Fentiman at Epsom 13 days ago; however, his only two wins from 15 races have both been at Epsom in the mud and he's also now gone back up 6lb.

J: Rhys Clutterbuck

T: Ralph Beckett

Not proven on firmer than good (one attempt); second of nine at Salisbury (1m6f, good) in May was his closest finish since 2yo, making most and rallying well; disappointing latest start but that Salisbury run was his only appearance this season over this trip (the rest were 2m); not totally ruled out in his search for first win since debut.

Blinkered on four of his last five starts; flopped when 5-4 favourite behind Elysian Flame at Beverley (2m, good to soft) in April but this month's second of nine at Salisbury (1m6f, good; made most and rallied well) was his closest finish since 2yo and gives some renewed hope.

Overcame his inexperience to win a 1m maiden at Bath two weeks ago (good ground); that form lags behind his rivals but surprising if he isn't capable of a good deal better.

Form & Verdict
Down the field at Doncaster on debut in June, after which he was gelded; lots to like about his Goodwood win 26 days ago (1m, good), still green but powering home to beat nine rivals (third, fourth and fifth have won since); has to concede weight all round but he's promising.
