Absent since coming up short in Listed grade at York Ebor festival when bidding for 5f hat-trick; return to 6f presents a question mark in this competitive field and William Buick prefers Treanmor; however, cost 1,400,000gns at the Craven breeze-up a year ago and can't be written off.

1,400,000gns breeze-up purchase who is 2-2 since dropping to 5f, latterly returning from a gelding operation to make light of an opening mark of 88 in a small-field nursery at Haydock (good); William Buick is on Military Code but this son of Acclamation looks capable of making his presence felt in this higher grade.

Form & Verdict
Front-runner who has been unplaced on his three starts since winning at Thirsk (5f, good) on his second run, but his midfield finish in the Super Sprint (5f, good) three weeks ago was a return to form and he could make a bold bid now tackling his first nursery.

Having dropped in the weights he ran his best race of the year when third of nine at Thirsk (5f, good to firm) on Thursday; now has something to build on.

J: Duran Fentiman

Sole win came over this C&D last May on his second start and he ran respectably when sixth of 12 here in May; however, he's run below that level in two starts since and needs to bounce back returned to this track.

Consistent rather than progressive as a 2yo and has failed to make a significant impact in handicaps this year, fading into a well-held sixth behind I'm Dan Dare and Yellow Diamonds at York latest.

Won easily at Ripon (5f, good) in April on second start and mid-division on next two starts in a Listed race at Sandown (5f, good) and the Group 2 Norfolk Stakes at Royal Ascot (5f, good to firm); now drops back down in grade for in-form trainer and could be a serious force on his nursery debut.

Highly tried after winning a Ripon novice in April and he came up short in Listed/Group 2 company; back on track when second of seven in a 5f nursery at Haydock two weeks ago; raised 2lb and likely he will need to improve again to defy top weight here.

Won easily at Ripon (5f, good) in April but found out in a higher grade on her next two starts; back from a small break when a fairly underwhelming third of three over C&D (good) on her nursery debut seven weeks ago; raced freely that day so may do better if settling this time.
