460,000euros yearling; second at Yarmouth (7f, good to soft) in May is narrowly the best form in this line-up; he didn't repeat it at Sandown (7f, good to firm) five weeks ago but could easily still be a leading contender.

Probably his best form yet when beaten just under 3l on his nursery debut at York (7f, good to firm) and he has a 4lb pull with third-placed Qaseem; if the new cheekpieces can trigger something extra then he's highly likely to be in the thick of it.

In top hands and returned to form with fair fifth of eight in first-time blinkers over C&D (soft) recently on second nursery start; however, he needs to raise his game if he's to get off the mark today; a first-time visor replaces the blinkers (has now worn new headgear on each of last three runs).
