Creditable sixth of 28 in the 5f 3yo Palace Of Holyrood House Handicap at Royal Ascot (good to firm); not at the same level the next twice but he's not written off, now 3lb lower than at the Royal meeting.

No improvement for a sixth furlong and/or slower ground at Newmarket last month; had been threatening something bigger before that though and he's interesting with a stiff 5f likely to suit.

J: Oisin Orr

T: Richard Fahey

Raced exclusively at 5f, on firm ground in the US and on good or faster since joining Richard Fahey; has strongly suggested that a sixth furlong would be beneficial, keeping on stoutly at Royal Ascot three weeks ago, and this mark probably not beyond him; slower ground is an unknown factor but his smart half-brother Kerdos acts on it and his dam recorded her only win on soft; interesting.

J: Billy Garritty

T: Richard Fahey

Raced in the US as a 2yo, winning on firm ground at Del Mar; no headgear on his British debut in April but fared better when third of seven behind Big Evs at York five weeks ago (5f, good; visored); this more thorough 5f test on faster ground should be in his favour but he will need to take a step forward to win.

Trained in US last season, when a 5f Listed runner-up in blinkers; represents last year's winning yard and was a fair sixth in a handicap at Sandown on last month's stable debut, when wearing no headgear; however, he needs to take a sizeable step forward here in a first-time visor.
