Form & Verdict
Novice win came here; signed off for the Gosdens with two poor runs but his reappearance run at Newmarket 12 days ago, following a gelding operation, was promising and strongly suggested that the new trip of 1m4f is what he wants; Billy Loughnane, who is 1-2 for the yard, takes over.

Both wins on the AW but he's every bit as good on grass and it took a well-handicapped winner (who was in a new visor) to overhaul him at Doncaster (1m6f, good); expect another positive ride back at 1m4f and Harry Vigors takes off a useful 5lb; ran well at this track on his seasonal debut; much respected.

It looked as if 1m6f stretched him when seventh of 16 at Royal Ascot (every chance 2f out); however, he again came up short in two 1m4f handicaps since, 7l fifth of 16 at the York Ebor meeting last time; something to prove.
