He was the pacemaker for stablemate Ombudsman in the Champion Stakes over C&D last October, when seventh of 11 at 66-1, and that's set to be his role again this afternoon.

Highlight last season was a very useful performance in 1m2f handicap at Doncaster, suggesting he's verging on Group class; creditable second, despite usual cheekpieces being removed, in AW Listed event at Kempton on reappearance; possibilities with the headgear back on.

Bit of a mixed bag last year but showed some useful form, as when fourth of 11 in the Dante at York (1m2f, good to firm) in May and winning a 0-105 handicap at Doncaster (1m2f, good to soft); won on Polytrack at Chelmsford as a 2yo and very much favoured by these terms; respected.

Proved resurgent with useful performance, defying a mark of 104, in Doncaster handicap (1m2f, good to soft) last time; no slouch but he's well short of Group 1 standard and has been supplemented, at a cost of £75,000, to act as pacemaker for stablemate Ombudsman; admittedly the last horse who played that role nearly stole the Juddmonte International.
