Creditable fifth in the 3yo handicap over 1m4f at this meeting last year, which he followed with a comfortable 1m4f win at Glorious Goodwood (8lb higher today); needs to resume his progress, having been a never-dangerous outsider this spring in 1m2f Group 3 and 1m Listed contest, but he looks far more interesting for this race.

Easily got off the mark in an optional claiming race at Fairyhouse (1m2f, good) on third start; made further marked improvement when winning a four-runner handicap at Leopardstown (1m1f, good to yielding) later in July, again making all; this is a sterner test in every respect but 1m4f looks plausible and she's unexposed, heading the right way.

Dual Listed winner at 1m2f and close to his best form the last twice in the Group 3 Brigadier Gerard at Sandown and the Listed Wolferton at Royal Ascot; off since that last run in June but has a positive record when fresh; every chance as reverting back to the AW won't be an issue; he might be capable of conceding weight all round.
