T: K R Burke

Last year's Autumn Stakes winner over C&D (good to firm; made all) who reappeared with a cracking third in the French 2,000 Guineas (1m, very soft) in May; didn't match that level on his next two starts but, like Colori Forever, he was on the tails of Persica and The Lost King in Haydock Group 3 (1m, heavy) three weeks ago; that was a step back in the right direction and maybe new cheekpieces can give him a further boost.

Group 3 winner at two but easily his best run came in defeat when a close third in the French 2,000 Guineas in May (1m, very soft; led and then rallied); since then he's finished down the field in the French Derby and again in the 1m1f Strensall at York where he raced too close to a strong pace; he could have pressure up front if intent on leading, but under his optimum conditions he's a player.

Made all for Andrew Balding at Chepstow (1m4f) in July and led 2f out to score by 6l at Lingfield (1m5f, AW) in August on third outing for current yard; creditable second of four over C&D latest; should give his running and that puts him high on the list.

Made all when winning in first-time cheekpieces for Andrew Balding at Chepstow two months ago (subsequently picked up for 20,000gns); much his best effort to date on AW debut last time (Polytrack) but has paid for that with a 7lb rise; needs more again.
