Made it three wins from his six 2yo starts when landing the Group 3 Horris Hill at Newbury (7f, soft) last October; has also won on good ground; carries a 5lb penalty on his reappearance and Talk Of New York may be his top yard's chief hope, but he won with something to spare at Newbury and could have a part to play.

Won in good style in a big field on nursery debut at York (7f, good to firm) last August and soft ground may not have suited in the Group 3 Horris Hill at Newbury in October; returned with commanding handicap win at Newbury (7f, good) a fortnight ago and holds leading form claims.

Off the mark at the third attempt as a 2yo when seeing off 14 rivals at Glorious Goodwood (6f, good); improved for the step up to 7f when impressing in an 18-runner nursery at York's Ebor meeting (good to firm); only 5-1 for a Group 3 over C&D when last seen in October but he dropped away late on soft ground that may not have been ideal; could still have more to offer back on a sounder surface.

Ready winner of a 7f novice at Southwell on his second start; came up short in two Group 3 events afterwards (tried in a hood on second occasion); he has since undergone wind and gelding operations; hard pressed to describe him as well handicapped on what we have seen but the surgeries could unlock more.
