Form & Verdict
425,000gns yearling; 13-8 second-favourite when just losing out to his market rival (who had previous experience) on his Kempton debut (1m, AW) last month; form has worked out very well (winner went on to land the Esher Cup) and with the longer trip likely to suit, will pose a big threat to Archivist if building on that.

Won a three-runner maiden at Doncaster in May on second start; well beaten in the Group 2 Dante at York (good to firm) in May, with better form for minor honours at 1m2f (on softer than good) in his two starts since but this race requires a chunk of improvement.

Made debut in April and won at Doncaster (1m2f, good) on second start; returned from break with front-running Listed third at Deauville last month (1m2f, good to soft; unraced on softer) and he could still have more to offer after just four starts; player.

J: Tom Marquand

T: Ed Walker

Didn't race last year having had an injury, and not entered in the Derby; second to subsequent Esher Cup winner on debut at Kempton (1m, AW) last month and easily won three-runner maiden at 2-13 at Doncaster (1m2f, good) 12 days ago; takes huge leap in grade today but this 425,000gns yearling, whose dam won a Group 2, could have lots more to offer; not ruled out each-way.

J: William Buick

Won two in a row at Sandown (1m2f, good) last summer when these blinkers went on and third there (1m2f, soft) next time; appeared unsuited by the step up to 1m4f at Newmarket in October; this lightly raced 4yo is in excellent hands and could rediscover his progressive ways with a big run today.

Much better when blinkers were enlisted over Sandown's 1m2f on last three starts, with clearcut wins on good ground on first two occasions (made virtually all second time) and a creditable third on latest; 1m4f (tried twice before the blinkers) now looks worth another go.

3yo who flopped on handicap debut but won well when the blinkers were enlisted over C&D (good) in his two races since, leading over 2f out on first occasion and making virtually all on second; up another 9lb but has been on a steep upward curve recently and goes well at Sandown.

Ritaan

J: Mr Harry Brown

Fair Flat maiden but yet to progress over hurdles and has often raced too keenly, though was a bit more tractable back at 2m last time without ever getting involved; hood removed now back up in trip and may do better at some point, but she remains a work in progress for now.

A fair Flat maiden for Harry Eustace but she's failed to kick on in this sphere, pulled up on her handicap debut at Huntingdon (2m4f) last month; she may still do better, though, if becoming more tractable.
