Won 6f AW Group 3 last September and fourth in Group 1 Middle Park at Newmarket (6f, good to firm) three weeks later; below best in Group races on both starts this year but wasn't devoid of promise at Newmarket, and Haydock last time was a first run on slow ground; not discounted on handicap debut.

AW Group 3 winner last September and bettered that form when 2.75l fourth to Wise Approach (Brussels second, Coppull third) in Group 1 Middle Park at Newmarket (6f, good to firm) later that month; late headway for seventh of 14 in 5f Group 3 back at Newmarket on reappearance; likely to benefit from the return to 6f but whether he's quite good enough remains to be seen.

All races at 6f, improving on front-running novice (good to firm) and AW Group 3 wins when beaten less than 3l in the Group 1 Middle Park on this course in September; from a yard that's much respected with sprinters but this still asks a lot on the drop to 5f.

Substandard winner of the Sirenia Stakes at Kempton (6f, AW; Group 3) where he made all and held on by only a neck, taking form figures to 411; however, he's an improving sort and plausibly hasn't reached his ceiling yet; gained his turf success on good to firm.

Twice-raced colt who seemed to need the experience in Newbury contest won by Egoli and took a big step forward at Salisbury (again over 6f) where he scored easily from the front; half-brother to an AW winner; interesting with further improvement very plausible.
