Form & Verdict
Half-brother to top-class Palace Pier; has been turned over at short prices on both 7f starts, getting worried out of it on debut here then unable to get to grips with a more prominently ridden winner at Redcar last month; the step up to 1m should suit though and this ought to be a good opportunity.

Form figures read 22111 (started favourite each time; 3-3 over 1m); proved well ahead of his opening mark at Ascot in April then followed up at Newbury (again on good to firm) where he collared the pacesetter close home; very progressive and commands respect.

Half-brother to Palace Pier, whose Group 1 haul included the Lockinge on this card in 2021; proved well ahead of his opening mark at Ascot (1m, good to firm) on seasonal debut, scoring easily and taking form figures to 2211; one to follow and could well defy a 10lb rise with further improvement on the cards.

Runner-up in both starts at Newcastle (1m, Tapeta) for George Boughey in the autumn but out of the frame in four handicaps for this yard, albeit not beaten far here (1m4f; first-time blinkers) nine days ago; needs to improve for the longer trip.

Made debut only last October and he's beaten very few of his rivals, at triple-figure odds for all five starts; drops in trip after two 1m classifieds and blinkers replace cheekpieces.

Looked unlucky here in April, when getting well behind after a slow start over 1m, and his yard's in better form now than then; that's not the first time he's fluffed his lines at the stalls, though, and he can pull hard, so he comes with risks attached.
