9st 2lb

J: Oisin Murphy

T: Brian Meehan

Group placed as 2yo and he's run well in top 3yo only handicaps over 1m2f this summer, finishing second of 14 at Glorious Goodwood (good to firm; probably acts on good to soft) off this mark last time; respected with Oisin Murphy taking the reins for the first time.

Third in 1m1f Listed race on reappearance and a rallying sixth of 16 in 1m2f handicap at Royal Ascot; drop back to 1m was probably against him on latest start but he's pretty exposed compared to many of today's rivals.

T: Brian Meehan

3yo who is capable of useful form, most recently a rallying sixth in Royal Ascot handicap (1m2f); however, he still hasn't added to his early 2yo success and isn't crying out for this drop back in trip.

The winner of two small-fileld 5f nurseries for Archie Watson last season, one of them at this track; the handicapper has been on top so far this year and a full revival is required.
