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.

Swept through from off the pace to win a Listed race at the Dante meeting (5f, good) here in May; also ran well over 5f here in July and he has had a wind operation since finishing down the field at Glorious Goodwood; 6f will be a new experience and he may prove vulnerable under his penalty.

A fairly useful 5f juvenile winner who reappeared having been gelded with a modest effort here in May; much better a fortnight later when fifth of 12 at Thirsk (also 5f, good); stays 6f and could step forward again.

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.

6f novice winner who was beaten only about 2l when fourth of eight in the Group 3 Molecomb at Goodwood (5f, good) in July, and a case can be made on that form; however, lesser runs have followed in Listed and Group 2 races (5f/6f, good to firm/good to soft) and he needs to raise his game.
