Form & Verdict
Free-going colt with tonnes of early pace; it wasn't the strongest Windsor Castle (5f, good to firm) in which he finished second at Royal Ascot but he won the race on the stands' side and he backed that up with a good third (Rydale Frosty a head back in fourth) in the Molecomb at Goodwood (5f, good); bang there on form.

Clearly best effort when winning C&D Listed event (good ground) in May, coming from well off strong pace; well beaten in the big 5f 3yo handicap at Royal Ascot three weeks ago; needs another personal best, and by some way.

Finished second in the Windsor Castle over C&D at this meeting 12 months ago before third-place finishes in three more Group/Listed races; returned from eight months off to win a 5f Listed event at York five weeks ago, missing the break but avoiding the fierce early pace as a result and sweeping through late on; has a touch of class and stable sent out the topweight to finish second in this race 12 months ago.

All starts at 5f on good or good to firm; no wins since his debut success at Musselburgh 13 months ago but he ran a belter when second of 20 in the Windsor Castle at Royal Ascot; again very useful form when beaten around 2l by Revival Power in Listed C&D event in August and Doncaster Group 2 three weeks later; solid each-way claims on this reappearance.

Ran five times last year, winning a novice at Redcar (5f, good to firm) last June and showing good pace when fourth of 15 on nursery debut at Doncaster (6f, good) when last seen in September; gelded since; the drop back to 5f could be a positive on his reappearance and he's a possible player.

Form & Verdict
Bounced back from a blip in the Coventry at Royal Ascot when narrowly denied in 5f Listed event at Sandown (good) in July; one of two who raced near side and wide of the main group when seventh in the Molecomb at Goodwood since and it's probably worth forgiving that; William Buick seemingly prefers him to Silent Applause.
