Went close on debut at Doncaster (1m, soft) last September then kept on well to win a 1m maiden here (good) in October; this is a much stiffer test of his credentials but his dam is from a classy family and he's in excellent hands; entered in the Dante and Derby and could be set for big 3yo campaign.

Tongue tied first time and improved when off the mark in eight-runner novice at Chepstow (1m2f, good to firm) three weeks ago, leading over 2f out and comfortably seeing off Thursday's tailed-off King George V longshot Blue Hercules; more to offer, which is needed on this handicap debut; non-runner (very stiff task) in Friday's 1m4f Group 2 here.

Probably below the form of his two 2yo runs when fourth of 11 on seasonal reappearance at Newbury (1m2f, good) a fortnight ago but that was still a pretty good effort; won't be far away if first-time tongue-tie has any positive effect.

0-10 but he has regularly been placed and is running well this season, including when beaten 2l for fourth of five at Sandown (1m1f, good) four weeks ago; yard in fine form and he's got each-way claims again.

Similar type to The Joker, being a consistent maiden who ties in with Law Court on last-time running (over 1m at Newbury in first-time cheekpieces); again should give his running.

Third at Nottingham (1m, soft) on second start last October and not discredited when 25-1 in a novice won under Sorin Moldoveanu by a much shorter-priced stablemate at Southwell (1m4f, AW) on April reappearance; 575,000gns yearling whose dam was useful over 1m4f+, so all in all he needs a close look on handicap debut.

Has found his feet in Kempton AW handicaps at 1m on last two starts, just worn down (by one who would have been an unlucky loser) last November, then found a bright turn of foot to win on comeback; up just 4lb but he has a different question to answer this time, returned to turf with rain about.
