His losing run is up to 13 and he's not as good as he was, but off a reduced mark he's run well to be third on his last three outings, over C&D (good to firm) last time after a two-month break; could be thereabouts.

Fulfilled previous promise when a short-priced winner of a C&D maiden in June, comfortably beating a stablemate of Noble Horizon; brings plenty of potential into handicaps.

Looked one to follow prior to disappointing when favourite over C&D last September, and he confirmed the earlier impression with a stylish Zetland Gold Cup win at Redcar (1m2f, good to firm) in May on return; raised 8lb but this unexposed and well-regarded 4yo may be able to take it in his stride.

J: Callum Rodriguez

T: Edward Bethell

Went back-to-back at Hamilton last season (1m1f, good; maiden/handicap) and unlikely that he gave his true running when a beaten favourite at York in September (1m2f); held a Cambridgeshire entry back then and he retains plenty of potential as a 4yo, especially at this trip (dam stayed well).

Won twice on AW for Sir Mark Prescott (7f/1m); bought for 45,000gns and lived up to his name when scoring on yard debut in Punchestown maiden on New Year's Eve, travelling and jumping well on yielding ground; seemingly exposed at Grade 1 level at Leopardstown early this month but definite claims back down in class.

Ex-William Haggas; followed up his easy Leicester win in June (1m2f, good; made virtually all) by finishing runner-up off a 10lb higher mark at Goodwood last month; up another 3lb and tries 1m4f for the first time; interesting.

1-8 for William Haggas; second run for new connections when he resumed improvement to make all in ten-runner race at Leicester (1m2f, good; acts on good to firm) in June, well clear through the final 2f; those wins are two of the four times he's made the running, which will be more difficult in this larger field and after a 10lb rise but he looked good last time.

Form & Verdict
Only 3l away in Newbury's always-strong London Gold Cup before coming from off the pace to win a Sandown maiden by 3l (1m2f, good to firm); strong in the betting for a Racing League handicap at Yarmouth where the ground was soft and he endured a wide trip; remains of interest.

Probably acts on soft; off four months (given wind surgery) before shaping as if back in good form when mid-division at Glorious Goodwood (1m2f) last month, not getting best of runs and finishing with more to give, which might also be encouraging for this first crack at 1m4f; needs a career best in first-time cheekpieces.
