Form & Verdict
Impressive winner over 7f on Southwell AW reappearance; made favourite for a good 7f Newbury handicap since, when 6lb well in under a penalty, but failed to get into the action soon enough, finishing second to a more prominently ridden winner (May Angel just behind); still has potential despite running off his new mark and this stiff 7f can suit.

All seven races at 7f; progressive in handicaps in the spring and made it 2-3 for the year when doing it readily at Ascot (good) in May; down the field in the Group 3 Jersey at the Royal meeting (good to firm; third of seven in the near-side group) but he's better than that and is not ruled out in view of his previous promise, especially as the step up to 1m could suit.

Creditable shows in 7f turf handicaps this year and the drop to 5f at Royal Ascot since (tongue tied first time) was always going to ask a searching question; however, he did as well as could have been expected in eighth of 27 and this extra furlong can only help; likely more needed from him, even so.

Ex-Irish runner who landed a Newcastle maiden (7f, AW) on his November stable debut; subsequently gelded and it was a very creditable fourth in a warm event at Ascot on his handicap debut last month; weakened to finish down the field in another competitive race next time but this represents a drop in grade and he shaped like this stiffer test would suit at Ascot.

Best 2yo form when winning a 6f novice at Goodwood last May and he was back near that level when a keeping-on third of eight on Kempton AW (6f) in April; heavy ground was probably against him when well held in his only 7f run but he still has stamina to prove and in tough company, too.
