Good level of form when placed in three races won by stablemates before off the mark in first-time cheekpieces in Tipperary maiden early this month, asserting late to beat Jack The Bachelor 1/2l at levels; failed to uphold that form on 5lb worse terms at Cork; now at levels again, with Ryan Moore aboard for the first time.

Wootton Bassett colt is taking his racing well, taking his form to a new level when second in Group 2 Flying Childers at Doncaster last month; 15 days later not quite as effective but solid run all the same upped to 6f when 3.5l fifth in Group 1 Middle Park at Newmarket; major player providing he handles the surface.

Sole win in 14 races came in a maiden but he's been banging on the door in handicaps, including races won by Rosie Frith and last time Moltophino; back up 3lb for last time but he was clear of the third, and has to enter the reckoning.

Improving 5f handicapper, winning at Bellewstown and most recently relished quick ground when leading from halfway here last month; withdrawn since at Cork on account of yielding ground so won't want much rain and this stiff 6f a challenge stamina-wise.
