Made it 2-3 with easy novice win at Salisbury (6f, good to firm) last month and close third of 14 in Racing League handicap at Chepstow (6f, good) last week; this unexposed 3yo holds likeable claims now just 1lb higher.

Unexposed 4yo; hugely encouraging seasonal return at Newbury (6f, good; gelded during his absence) a fortnight ago, missing a beat at the start but moving through to lead inside the final furlong before being picked off close home; 2lb well in and this flashy grey appeals as the type to win a major sprint handicap this year; solid contender.

Respectable C&D form last September when third of 19 but he's been at his most impressive on flatter tracks so far, as when crushing his rivals at Ayr (good to soft) and York (good) as a 3yo; returned to action with a mighty effort on the latter track in May, when only just failing to reel in a well-treated front-runner; major chance if reproducing the form back here, despite going up 5lb since, as his star is still rising.

Promising 3yo last season and things clicked in a major way with a dominant win in a big-field C&D handicap (good) last October when last seen; he's entered in the Group 1 Jubilee Stakes at Royal Ascot and this lightly raced sort is in excellent hands to continue to progress; strong contender.
