Made it three wins in his last five starts when seeing off nine rivals at Newmarket (7f, good to firm) last month; those in behind who've run since haven't done much for the form but he's a 3yo on the up.

Form figures under Chloe Lyons read 1212, that initial success over C&D (good) in May and the partnership scored again (by 6l) on the July course (7f) last month; was 2lb well in under a penalty when second over latter C&D (good to firm) one month ago but looks likely to give another good account.

He was having just his second start on turf when a ready winner at the other Newmarket track (7f, good) in May; finished runner-up on his last three starts, twice over C&D including last time under Chloe Lyons, and now takes a drop in class; has to be considered.

6f Hamilton winner on good ground under Oisin Murphy as a 2yo; however, never figured on Epsom reappearance (7f, good to soft; first-time cheekpieces) and subsequent Ffos Las second offers no proof that he's trained on given he was beaten 11l; Murphy is back on board now but it's not enough to tempt.
