Easily won Chester novice (7.5f, good to firm) last August on third and final 2yo start and reappeared with midfield finish in the Italian 2,000 Guineas, before 2l fourth of 30 on handicap debut in the Britannia at Royal Ascot (1m, good to firm); firmly in calculations now against older horses.

J: Jack Callan

Made it third-time lucky last season in a 7.5f novice at Chester (good to firm); however, he was only seventh in the Italian 2,000 Guineas (good) in his comeback race and that casts a shadow over his prospects.

J: Jason Hart

T: Hugo Palmer

Built upon the promise of his debut fifth at Newbury (6.5f, good) when occupying the same position at Glorious Goodwood (7f, good to soft), where he kept on well; he's the type who should have more to offer and today's extra yardage is a likely positive; he's one to consider.

Too Darn Hot half-brother to connections' Group-placed 7f 2yo winner Wolf Of Badenoch (RPR 101); soon in rear at Newbury (extended 6f, good; 16-1) but did some good late work and could be a different proposition this time.
