Timed it just right, getting up on the line, in the Victoria Cup at Ascot (7f, good to firm) on his reappearance for new connections in May; shaped well from too far back when third of 12 at Sandown (1m, good) since and his mark is still workable if things drop right.

Third in this last year and improved form later in the season, finishing his campaign in fine form (on various ground); down the field at Ascot on recent return but he was hampered and may have needed the run; not discounted.

Ended last season with a win and second-place finish, enhancing his good record at Ascot; two attempts at this race comprise a creditable fourth in 2024 and narrow success last year; impossible to dismiss, despite being an 8yo who is on another new career-high mark.

Hold-up sprinter who won his first two starts for this yard at Yarmouth and Doncaster (both 6f; good and good to firm) in April; has found a mark in the low-90s beyond him twice since but didn't get a race run to suit here last time; now steps up to 7f for the first time with Colin Keane taking the reins.

Lightly raced for Roger Varian, winning a C&D novice as a 2yo; made a promising start for this yard when runner-up at Doncaster (7f, good; tongue-tie added) in March and the drop back to 6f looked against him at Ascot last month; still looks feasibly treated on his penultimate form and he could have more to offer back up in trip.
