This 3yo has very much gone the right way since an AW debut success in March, including two 1m Ascot handicap wins (another excellent run there when third in Britannia at Royal meeting); caught wide and too far back when eighth of 17 in handicap at York's Ebor meeting last month and that shouldn't be taken to suggest his improvement has come to a halt; won't need to advance his form too much to make his presence felt in Group company.

Progressive 3yo who strolled home in a C&D handicap in May and performed even better when a close third in the Britannia here (again good to firm) the following month; that run more than justifies a further 5lb rise in the weights and he's a major player again on a course he clearly handles very well.

Overall record of 3-11 but he's not been easy to predict; finished down the field here when last seen in May but he's now only 1lb higher than when completing a double in this race last year; cheekpieces are reapplied after a short break and he needs a close look on this drop back in grade.

Clear promise in three 7f maiden/novice runs on AW early in the year; some promise on turf/handicap debut at Salisbury in May (1m2f, good to firm) but ran poorly at Lingfield two weeks ago (AW; tried in blinkers which are quickly dispensed with); could still have a bigger run in him.
