Form & Verdict
Hooded all three runs; third at Kempton (6f, AW) and Glorious Goodwood (7f, good) on first two starts, front-running in the latter and his best form; raced too freely in front at Epsom (7f, good) on latest outing, hanging left and turned over at 1-3, but even that gives him leading form claims.

J: James Doyle

T: Andrew Balding

Emphatic winner of handicap debut on Southwell AW (6f) in March; found Group 3 and Listed races too daunting on next two starts and he made only modest late headway into mid-division over 5f at Royal Ascot (40-1; without regular hood, as today); return to 6f should suit but the same applies to others from that race.

J: Dylan Browne McMonagle

T: Andrew Balding

Useful 2yo and took his form to a new level with an emphatic win at Southwell (6f, AW) in March; a refusal to settle has compromised him in Group 3/Listed events on his last two starts but this mark is surely in range judged on that Southwell win and he is interesting now dropped to 5f for the first time; hooded every time except today.

Second in a maiden here last September; best form in valuable sales races (also 7f) on next two outings but nowhere near repeating it in his two starts this term; hampered early in a York handicap last time (7f; 22-1) and this is a major rethink on his trip, but none too persuasive.

Did well to land the odds when upped to 1m at Chelmsford 20 days ago given she was sat last but one turning in and the second and third favourites very much got first run on her; this could also get tactical but Kempton's longer straight will help; worth siding with on nursery debut.
