Made all in very valuable auction race as a juvenile but winless since taking Redcar's Two-Year-Old Trophy six weeks later; looked to be rediscovering his level when third on AW in March and it was a solid fifth of 18 behind Royal Velvet (declared for preceding Group 3) at Newmarket (7f, good) last time; if the stands' rail proves the place to be this could be the day to revert to forcing tactics; interesting.

Yet to match his 2yo best (included big sales race and Listed wins) but he's only had eight subsequent starts and latest third at Wolverhampton (7f, AW) four weeks ago was a firm step back in the right direction; same mark and there's a suspicion he could be on the way back; player if so.

Quirky 4yo; won well at Leicester in June (7f, good to firm; hooded first time) and his third at Ascot in July was an excellent effort; a few quiet efforts from August onwards but he would likely have gone close here (1m) last week had he seen any daylight; the forecast strong headwind could favour something coming from off the pace and no doubt he has the ability to win off this mark; high on the list.
