J: Wayne Lordan

3yo son of Wootton Bassett signed off last term with an excellent second at the Breeders' Cup (5f, firm) but form has been regressive this season, albeit all three runs have come over 6f; the drop back to 5f is a positive, but he has a fair bit to find on the figures and Ryan Moore prefers the chances of Charles Darwin.

Runner-up in two top-level races last autumn, namely the Middle Park at Newmarket (6f, good to firm) and Breeders' Cup Juvenile Turf Sprint (5f, firm); a long way below that level on both outings this term and arrives with plenty to prove but he's an each-way possible if cheekpieces prompt a revival.

From the first crop of a sire who was a smart performer for this yard; didn't have much to spare at Windsor (6f, good to firm) last time but may build on that success and show further improvement.

Record of 1-11 but his won was off 1lb higher at Southwell (5f, AW) in January and he ran well for a long way in a Class 4 handicap at Newmarket (fifth of eighth) 11 days ago; headgear is now added and he could make a bold bid on this drop back in grade.

It took him nine attempts to get off the mark, justifying even-money favouritism in a maiden at Salisbury (6f, good) three weeks ago; however, a case can be made judged on his Listed second at Redcar (6f, good to soft) last October; not discounted.
