A local runner in all respects and aptly registered his peak RPR in sole Goodwood attempt, namely fourth in last year's Vintage Stakes (7f, good); not exactly solid on his form since but the return to this venue may have a positive effect.

Won on debut at Salisbury (7f, good to firm) last June and kept on for fourth in Group 2 Vintage Stakes at Goodwood (7f, good) next time; ran okay in quality conditions race at Newbury (1m, good to soft) in September when last seen but he needs to prove he can cut it off this lofty mark.

Initially promising but hasn't kicked on in handicaps (0-3; 7f-1m) and blinkers are removed after last time; bit to prove, though getting back on fast ground is a likely plus.

Achieved similar amount when runner-up first three starts; tad underwhelming on nursery debut at Goodwood before producing a laboured effort at Newbury (gelded in between); it's possible he missed the blinkers last time as they're back on here; safer options elsewhere for all moving up to 1m promises to suit; AW debut.

Runner-up in first three starts, failing odds-on backers in the last two of them; went off favourite again for a valuable Glorious Goodwood nursery (7f, heavy) in July and kept at it, after an awkward start, to finish sixth of 11; might be looking for 1m now but he's far from ruled out; has been gelded.

Runner-up in all his races, failing odds-on backers the last twice (dictated matters last time at Epsom over 7f); however, possibly bumped into useful rivals on both those occasions and perhaps a truly run race in this bigger field will bring him on; yard won this last year.
