Campaigned mostly over 5f; proved useful (twice Listed placed) last term; well below par in two runs this season but gives the impression he has possibly lost some of his speed; may prove resurgent upped in distance with hood fitted on handicap debut.

Capped a productive 2yo campaign with a close second to Revival Power in Listed event over C&D (good to firm), but he was well beaten on his reappearance and he's a long way down the pecking order on ratings.

Unraced on ground softer than good; closely matched with stablemate Words Of Truth on adjusted ratings; form last year featured two wins early doors and two good efforts in Listed grade, namely head second over C&D and at the York Ebor festival; major contender on reappearance.

J: Billy Loughnane

T: George Boughey

Promising profile included a Newbury novice win (extended 6f) last summer but it went into orbit, after running better than the bare result on Chester reappearance, when he got to the front over 1f out in the Britannia at Royal Ascot (1m, good to firm) and held off allcomers; a 7lb rise may not interrupt his progress over 1m.

J: Zac Lloyd

T: George Boughey

Contested a Group 2 last season after winning his novice; gelded in December; his comeback run at Chester was seriously promising when he had to be dropped in from a wide draw, then found trouble up the straight yet was beaten only 2l behind a shorter-priced stablemate; he's way better than that bare form and gets in off the same mark; possibilities.

OUR TIP

2 yo Colt

OR:

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.

Made all at Chester (5f, good) this spring and two of his last three defeats have come in very big fields at the major festivals; ran well to be beaten a short head in between and he shouldn't mind any easing of conditions; mark okay and could go well back down in grade.
