Slowly away and never landed a blow over 6f at Newbury but broke better and proved suited by the extra distance at Yarmouth (7f, good to soft) where he beat the market leader; open to further improvement.

Record of 2-7 and broadly consistent last term; creditable second in last three starts, including in 7f Group 3 at Newmarket; however, his ceiling is seemingly already known and, unlike all of today's rivals, he doesn't have a 2,000 Guineas entry.

Won at Yarmouth (7f, good to soft) on second start, then third in hot novice on July Course (7f, good to firm) before winning Doncaster nursery (7f, good to soft); runner-up in German Group 3 (7f, good to soft) three weeks ago; seemingly has his limitations but he's an each-way possible.

Raced four times last year, finishing third in the Group 2 Superlative at this meeting (7f, good to firm) and going close in a Canadian Grade 1 (1m, firm) in September; this is his first run since and William Buick rides Morris Dancer, but it will be no surprise to see a big performance.

Won well at Haydock and nearly defied a penalty in C&D contest, narrowly failing to collar a bigger-priced stablemate (newcomer); William Buick prefers Saba Desert but this colt retains potential.

Creditable shows in 7f turf handicaps this year and the drop to 5f at Royal Ascot since (tongue tied first time) was always going to ask a searching question; however, he did as well as could have been expected in eighth of 27 and this extra furlong can only help; likely more needed from him, even so.

All six runs have been at 7f, winning an AW novice last summer; had wind and gelding operations prior to his reappearance at Newbury (good) in April and ran well for third; filled the same spot in a handicap here six weeks ago; improvement essential now tackling 5f in a red-hot handicap; tongue-tie enlisted.

Ready winner of 7f novice on Southwell AW before highly tried in Group races on final 2yo starts; gelded and had wind surgery in the close season and returned with a useful effort to be third in a well-contested Newbury handicap (7f, good; just behind the penalised Colori Forever) last month; looks sure to be involved off the same mark.

Form of debut success (on the July course here) has worked out nicely; far from disgraced with fourth-place finishes in the Solario at Sandown and Royal Lodge at Newmarket (1m) since; drop back to 7f may suit but he needs improvement to land this prize.

Some good efforts at 7f and 1m in Listed events at home and Group 3s in Italy since winning a 7f novice at Doncaster as 2yo; quite badly hampered on handicap debut in the Golden Gates at Royal Ascot (upped to 1m2f) but his race was run at the time; probably needs to drop in the weights.

His win was in a 7f novice at Doncaster (good) last July; subsequent efforts include minor honours in a Listed race and two Italian Group 3s, latterly emerging in third of 14 with first-time cheekpieces in their version of the 2,000 Guineas (1m, good); that does not make him well handicapped today but his sire gives plenty of hope for 1m2f.

Created a positive impression when winning a 7f novice at Doncaster on his second 2yo run; better form when a close fourth in Listed company at the St Leger meeting and ended that campaign with a close third in an Italian Group 3; stepping up to 1m should suit; more to come.
