Three wins, including Listed, in a productive 3yo campaign; more progress this year, second to Rumstar in the Palace House before filling same position in the Group 2 Temple Stakes at Haydock six weeks ago (both 5f, good); raced away from the winner last time and can probably be upgraded; drying ground no problem; of interest, for all that the return of cheekpieces is slightly surprising (running well since blinkers went on).

She doesn't hang around and can lead but she found the stiff 5f at Sandown (good to firm) against her when run down late on by Rumstar in July; ridden much more patiently in Group 2 at Goodwood since, setting to work with a will but failing by a neck to overhaul Jm Jungle; this track can see her to good advantage and she can go well; blinkers return in place of cheekpieces.

Smart on his day, as when winning last season's Group 2 Temple Stakes at Haydock (5f, soft); low-key reappearance at York but much more like it when fifth of 20 in the Group 1 King Charles III at Ascot (good to firm) last month, keeping on well and doing easily the best of those drawn low (seven of the first eight home came from double-figure stalls); seems to handle most ground and he's a strong contender with this stiff track looking likely to suit.
