Successful at Chepstow (good) and Salisbury (good to firm) since tackling 6f; however, had little to spare last time and has something to find on ratings in this better grade upped further in distance.

Good fourth in Chantilly Listed contest (6.5f, AW) last month, despite having been absent since midfield effort in the 2025 Coventry; chance of landing this useful race partly depends on how well he responds to first-time headgear; steps up a tad further in trip.

Beaten at Chepstow on debut but looked far more with it at Lingfield (6f, good) when dominating from the front down the 'golden highway' up the stands' rail; would probably have beaten inferior opposition no matter how he was ridden, but that didn't smack of Royal Ascot-winning material; improvement is possible but it's certainly necessary.

Likes to push the pace and seems versatile ground-wise; his win over slightly shorter here (good) was the middle leg of a summer hat-trick last year and it was a fine effort when close third in Listed Flying Scotsman at Doncaster in September; has a good stall to go forward but his no-show on return to turf (66-1; drawn wide) a fortnight ago needs glossing over.
