Won last July in his only 2yo start and reappeared with a novice win at Southwell (1m4f, AW) in April; kept to 1m4f when he earned his highest ratings in Listed race at Longchamp and handicap at Royal Ascot (good to firm) last two outings, beaten 8l in both but the way he went last time makes 1m2f look worth a go; yard had two winners at the big Ascot meeting last Saturday.

Got up close home at Haydock (7f, good) last July in his only 2yo start and reappeared with a clearcut novice win at Southwell (1m4f, AW) in April; never able to challenge in a steadily run French Listed race (1m4f, very soft) five weeks ago, coming fifth of eight but earning his highest rating; could easily remain capable of better but it is needed.

240,000euros yearling; by Sea The Moon out of a close relation to 1m2f Group 1 winner Sultanina; second favourite for seven-runner maiden at Haydock (7f, good) last July, which he nearly blew when making an awkward start and first off the bridle but he came from the back and stuck his neck out well for a narrow win; absent since but should be open to major improvement on AW debut.

By Mohaather; 75,000gns foal who was resold for 175,000gns as a yearling; third foal; half-brother to two 7f winners including La Botte (RPR 106); likely sort from a yard that has a good record of winning newcomers.

J: Billy Loughnane

T: Edward Bethell

Looked good when making all in a maiden over C&D last October, but having been gelded he hasn't built on that in two starts on turf since returning to action last month; return here a positive and he remains unexposed, but an uncontested lead seems unlikely.

Twice runner-up before winning a 7f AW maiden in October and then gelded; finished last of the four when favourite for his handicap debut at Catterick (7f, good to firm) but he raced freely up front and didn't look at home on the track; worth another chance.

1m novice winner last season on good ground before flopping when favourite for a five-runner nursery at Newcastle (1m, AW); also failed to shine on return at Chester in May (1m4f; having been gelded), so those two efforts in handicaps leave him with plenty to prove after 141-day absence.

Won soft-ground nursery at Sandown (7f) off just 1lb lower at the end of last summer; creditable 2l fourth of eight in 7f Ascot 3yo-only handicap (good) 13 days ago, shaping as if this return to 1m may suit; that was only his second outing of the year so he's also fresh for this stage of the season; interesting.

Sole win came on soft ground at Sandown 12 months ago when only 2lb lower; since then he's performed okay in two handicaps on either side of a sales-race assignment; has yet to prove himself on fast ground but this is only his second run after a gelding operation; wouldn't be too dismissive.
