Form & Verdict
Promising as 2yo for Godolphin; missed his 3yo season and ran as though something was amiss when favourite for recent stable/handicap debut but remains unexposed and it will be interesting to see whether his supporters wade in again here; hooded for first time.

J: Sean Kirrane

In good form in the spring, winning at Wetherby (1m, good to firm) before near misses at Thirsk and over C&D; not at his best on his last two starts but this is an ease in class and he's a major player in his bid to win this race for a second time (successful in 2024).

Best known as a sprinter; placed over 7f on Tapeta this spring and was not disgraced when upped to 1m for quite valuable Polytrack handicap a fortnight ago, but may still be vulnerable to specialist milers here.

Acts on soft; unproven beyond 1m and unraced beyond 1m1f until he tried 1m3f at Southwell (AW) 15 days ago and led 2f out until three rivals went past in the final 1f; that was a good run and his dam won at this trip but others clearly have less to prove in this hot 1m4f race.

Kicked off this campaign with two wins in a row (7f, good to soft/AW) before solid second at Newmarket (1m, good); didn't run badly in mid-division in Class 2 at Epsom (8.5f, good to soft) last time and he could be in the mix back down in grade.

Now 13lb lower than when runner-up in major handicap at Glorious Goodwood (1m, good to firm) last summer but has become very inconsistent and was safely held when back at Goodwood nine days ago; hard to predict.
