Inclined to pull hard and cracked late on over 1m4f at Royal Ascot, having bumped into a few progressive winners previously; sets the standard back into maiden company but can hang right and has had eight cracks at it now.

J: Zac Lloyd

T: George Boughey

Maiden after seven races, runner-up in all four since joining George Boughey; three of those were handicaps (8.6f/1m2f) so he should be far more exposed than most of today's rivals, but he has been improving (wore cheekpieces last time) and 1m4f now looks worth a go.

J: Billy Loughnane

T: George Boughey

Now 0-6 but he's posted progressive RPRs when runner-up on all three starts since joining George Boughey; the form of his latest 1m2f Newmarket second has been boosted by subsequent wins for the third and fourth (the winner also a creditable third in a Listed race); if he can pull out only a little more for the addition of cheekpieces he could take a bit of stopping.

Struggled in two starts last year and it was the same story at Wolverhampton (7f, AW) 65 days ago on his first start since being gelded; returns to turf with much better needed on his handicap debut; market may be informative.
