Campaigned mostly over 5f; surged back to form with a hood fitted when he tried 7f under Toby Moore on handicap debut at Newmarket (good to firm; 25-1) five weeks ago, albeit losing three places late on; may bide his time a bit longer on this occasion.

Seems to need good/firmer; successful in the Britannia at Royal Ascot and finished a good second kept to 1m at Ascot (behind Hickory) and Doncaster the last twice; steadily progressive 3yo who looks a major player, provided he's as effective back down in trip.

J: Jack Callan

Won the 30-runner Britannia Stakes over C&D (good to firm) at the Royal meeting; following a 7lb rise he was only fourth of eight at Newmarket (1m, good to firm) but that shouldn't be taken as a definitive sign that his current mark is beyond him; 3yos have won two of the last three runnings; chance.

OUR TIP

2 yo Colt

Form & Verdict
Represents a yard that is 0-39 with 2yos but showed promise with his 40-1 third against fellow newcomers in the Brocklesby at Doncaster (good to soft) and is now the only runner who has the advantage of experience.

3-10 on AW compared to 1-8 on turf but the turf win came on latest start and taking that six-runner race at Chester (5f, good to soft; made all under Jack Nicholls) by 2l was career-best form on his fourth start for current yard; 6lb higher today but did it in good style.
