Broadly progressive, mostly at about 1m and on AW, until posting duck eggs in last two outings; may prove resurgent back down in grade, and pedigree suggests the return to 1m2f is worth a go.

8st 13lb

J: Ryan Moore

T: William Haggas

Having been gelded last autumn he enjoyed a good stint on AW, winning twice (1m/8.6f); soundly beaten at Newcastle (1m, AW) last time and he needs to transfer his improvement back to turf, but he remains lightly raced for his top yard and is not discounted under Ryan Moore.

He has a good record on AW, winning three times and runner-up on his other two attempts; got the better of Dosman at Wolverhampton two weeks ago but he looks held by The Lost King on their Lincoln Trial form.

J: Tom Marquand

T: William Haggas

Winner of three of his seven starts and although he found one too good for him when front-running over C&D 13 days ago, that was another good effort; drawn a little wider this time but needs respect.

The winner of three of his six starts and two of them have come on AW; second to Two Tempting at Kempton when last seen in November but he had beaten that rival on his previous start and is handicapped to confirm the placings; one to consider.
