Won on debut here (7f, good) last June and made it 2-3 as 2yo when making all in the Group 3 Autumn Stakes at Newmarket (1m, good to firm) last October; reappeared with fine front-running third in the Group 1 Poule d'Essai Des Poulains at Longchamp (1m, very soft) in May; down the field in the Group 1 Prix du Jockey Club at Chantilly (10.5f, good) three weeks later but has had a break since and is very much of interest judged on his previous form.

Third to Blue Courvoisier in the Silver Bowl at Carlisle (1m, good to firm) in May and bounced back from Royal Ascot defeat (drawn on the wrong side) for clear second at Ascot (1m, good to firm), when a nose behind Ciarrai Abu who followed up here on Thursday; he should stay this far, and this progressive 3yo could be on an advantageous mark up 4lb since last time.

0-5 as a 2yo but there was plenty of encouragement, including a 2l defeat here behind Laureate Crown; gelded prior to this campaign which he kicked off with a clearcut maiden win on the AW (1m) and he then held his own in the Silver Bowl at Carlisle won by Blue Courvoisier; he was only 100-30 for that and unlucky not to be closer than 2l; yet another to bear in mind.

Flopped at Sandown (7f, good) in July but had a break since and been gelded; showed promise in hot novice contests at Haydock and York (both 7f, good) on his first two starts and the stiffer test of stamina provided by today's ground could be right up his street; in calculations.

Ran up against smart types on first two 7f starts, on this track and at York (both on good), keeping on pleasingly into third on debut, then ran to similar level next time; was in the right place at the right time, unlike the second, when winning a C&D novice in September; open to improvement as a 3yo; goes handicapping with cheekpieces fitted.

Scored for Andrew Balding at Chepstow (1m4f, good to firm) last month in first-time cheekpieces (retained since) and subsequently sold for 20,000gns; has run well at Sandown and Ascot for new stable and should go well on AW debut.

Bought for 20,000gns out of Andrew Balding's yard after winning off 5lb lower at Chepstow (1m4f, good to firm; first-time cheekpieces); ran okay at Sandown but no more than that in a small field over 1m6f; his new rider will have to navigate from the widest stall.

Sole 3yo in this field; maiden last term; gelded prior to posting form figures of 131 (over 7f-1m) this season, the wins on sharp, left-handed tracks, namely Catterick (good) and Chester (good to soft); open to further improvement, should take well to Thirsk and receives weight all round; respected.
