Form & Verdict
Aga Khan cast-off; minor promise in Ireland and France on first two starts; sold for 36,000euros in November; bred to want further than 1m but he travelled strongly over the trip at Kempton on recent yard debut (20-1), before finishing powerfully into third of 12 to a classy type; smart prospect.

Lightly raced 4yo who was a good fourth at Glorious Goodwood (1m1f, good to firm) and York's Ebor meeting (1m2f, good to soft) prior to winning at Chester (1m2f, soft) a fortnight ago; might not be far away under 4lb penalty.

Both wins at about 1m; he wasn't exactly strong through the line when trying this far at York but was beaten under 2l in a deep 20-runner handicap so there's no knocking that effort; every chance off an untouched mark.

J: David Egan

T: Ian Williams

Winner at Epsom (8.5f, good) in April; best run since when close fourth of 15 at Glorious Goodwood (1m1f, good to firm) in a first-time tongue-tie (retained) three weeks ago; can race freely but the Goodwood effort suggests 1m2f could be within range; enters calculations.

J: Cieren Fallon

T: David O’Meara

Landed a couple of 1m handicaps at Carlisle in the summer; had a valid excuse for tame effort sandwiched between two thirds at Carlisle and Redcar and has place claims at least.

Two 1m wins at Carlisle (good) this summer, including under Conor Whiteley; another good run over that C&D when third in August but stopped quickly back there last time.

J: Daniel Tudhope

T: David O’Meara

Two C&D wins on good ground this summer and he ran right up to his best when third of nine here three weeks ago (good to soft); a 3lb higher mark has kicked in now but he still seems likely to run well.
