3-3 on AW, two of the wins coming over C&D, and he showed what he could do on turf when a fine fourth in the Britannia at Royal Ascot; last of 17 at the Ebor meeting but he was making some inroads when meeting traffic and eased inside the final furlong; one to consider.

Took advantage of a reduced mark when scoring over C&D (cheekpieces added) last month but he finished ninth of 12 in his follow-up bid at Brighton; now drops back in grade but he's not easy to predict and comes with risks attached.

J: Jack Doughty

Sole run here wasn't his best at two but that was on soft; resurgent the last twice, a close third (good) followed by a stylish win (also Epsom, 8.5f; good to firm) last month in first-time cheekpieces; seems to love that track which bodes well for Brighton; back up 5lb which looks perfectly fair.

Won off this mark in first-time blinkers at York (7f, good) last July and he could improve for last month's respectable comeback at Southwell (7f, AW); however, he does need to build on that and blinkers are left off.
