5f AW winner on debut in March; has run well in defeat, notably when third behind the subsequent Newbury Super Sprint winner Caburn at Salisbury; had excuses in a Goodwood nursery last time but has plenty to prove.

Early-season AW scorer who ran well, keeping-on third, in the Woodcote at Epsom (6f, good to soft) most recently; major contender, even though he's conceding weight all round.

Something to find on his 5f form, which comprises a Chelmsford win (AW) and Ascot defeat, but gives the impression this longer trip is going to prove beneficial; represents last year's winning yard.

Overcame a slow start and evident inexperience to win decisively at Chelmsford (AW) in March; different underfoot conditions to contend with but his yard has made a flying start with their 2yos and it's notable that he's the one selected for a race they won with subsequent Royal Ascot winner Chipotle in 2021.
