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.

Unraced on softer than good; it looked as if 1m6f stretched him when seventh of 16 at Royal Ascot (every chance 2f out) and that he probably remained in form; however, he again came up short when favourite back over 1m4f at Ascot on latest start; something to prove after that.

His form eventually ran cold for the Gosdens last season but he's back on the up for his new yard, following his pleasing comeback at Newmarket with a decisive win at Kempton where he swept by late on (1m4f, AW); has low enough mileage to believe he'll cope fine with a 7lb rise and, despite not being Wathnan's first string on jockey arrangements, he's one to consider.
