Won in France in June (2m1f, soft) on second start, after which he was sold for 130,000euros, and he was a creditable second on last month's stable debut at Wetherby (2m, good to soft); the first-time hood could help him settle better today and he holds leading claims under a penalty.

Dual juvenile hurdle last season who had his limitations exposed in some deeper races at the turn of the year, but he signed off with a respectable fifth in a Sandown (2m, good) handicap in April; yet to really fire since switched to fences this term for a stable going well, though he could improve for this longer trip.

Returned to Flat with an eye-catching effort at Royal Ascot (2m4f); going back down to 1m6f didn't look a problem at Glorious Goodwood (again good to firm) 18 days ago but he suffered a nightmare passage before running on into second of 13 (Valedictory fifth); a 4lb rise adds salt to the wounds but he could still have a big chance.

The booking of Patrick Mullins was a likely factor in him going off 6-4f last time at Hexham where he raced freely and didn't last home over 2m4f; had made steady progress for this yard and, back over shorter with Joshua Thompson taking off 5lb, he should be involved.
