Form & Verdict
High-class sprinter who's very effective at Deauville and was able to see off James's Delight in a Group 3 there (6f, very soft) in August; finished a creditable sixth in Group 1 at Ascot later and, given he tends to reproduce his best form when fresh, he should be good for another strong show.

Group 3 win at Deauville (6f, very soft) last August and reappeared with Listed win at Doncaster (6f, good to soft) in March; tackles 7f for the first time since September 2023 and it remains to be seen if this trip still suits, but he's in with a shout if seeing it out.

Form & Verdict
Group 3 winner in France as a 3yo and he started last season with an excellent second in this race (soft) when travelling strongly but run down late on by a top sprinter; his path took a grey turn later but he's been in fine fettle on the AW since being gelded and having wind surgery and he'll be suited by the return to 6f; solid chance.

He has always had lots of ability and gelding/wind operations last summer have prompted improvement from him this year; C&D win in January was more convincing than the neck margin indicates and he backed that up with a comfortable Listed win at Lingfield in February; beaten under a penalty in Listed events twice since but it was 5f on the first occasion and he was checked in his run back on turf three weeks ago; it will take a mighty effort to defy a BHA mark of 110 but it's not out of the question.
