Highly progressive in 2025, winning the Group 1 King Charles III Stakes at Royal Ascot (5f, good to firm); also won on good to soft last year; it was his first run since when down the field at York recently and he may have needed it, but a dramatic transformation is required just ten days on.

T: Jim Goldie

Has built up a good strike rate over 5f/5.5f and registered a neck success at Royal Ascot (good to firm) upped to Group 1 level when last seen; landed a handicap at this meeting 12 months ago; very progressive and has possibilities provided he's as effective back at 6f.

J: Paul Mulrennan

T: Jim Goldie

Made outstanding progress in 5f handicaps and the way he raced to the front at York (good to firm) in May showed that a switch to Group company wouldn't be at all fanciful; unable to show what he was made of behind Mgheera in a Group 2 at Haydock (5f, good) since, as a gap shut as he was about to go through it, and he remains one to keep on the right side.

2-2 this season with 5f handicap wins at Musselburgh (good to soft) and York (good to firm); did it nicely in a big field last week and this highly progressive 5yo could take the rise in grade in his stride.

J: Paul Mulrennan

T: Jim Goldie

Made giant strides last year, notably when getting up late in the Portland at Doncaster (5.5f, good); better than ever when overcoming a troubled passage to win at Musselburgh last month (5f, good to soft); hard to believe he's not still well treated up 4lb and he looks every inch a Pattern-racer in waiting; whether today's combination of a fast 5f on quick ground will see him to best effect remains to be seen.
