Has failed to build on an eye-catching reappearance effort but seemed to be outstayed over 1m2f most recently; unlucky second in the C&D Britannia at this meeting last year (good to firm; might well have won but for traffic issues) and looks very interesting back here, bidding for compensation.

Unlucky second in last year's Britannia at Royal Ascot then caught the eye on reappearance; hasn't exactly lived up to expectations in two starts since but remains of interest assuming this new scenario (steps up from 1m) prompts a positive effect; too soon to give up on him.

J: Jamie Spencer

T: Harry Eustace

Went close in the Britannia at Royal Ascot (1m, good to firm) last June on his fourth start; not seen again until a good fourth at Wolverhampton (8.6f, AW) this March, despite a slow start and having to come very wide in the straight; disappointing favourite in the Lincoln at Doncaster three weeks later, perhaps with the good to soft ground against him but overall improvement is required moving from handicaps into this Group 3.

Went close in the Britannia Handicap at Royal Ascot (1m, good to firm) last June on his fourth start; then absent until the Trial at Wolverhampton (8.6f, AW) three weeks ago, when he was fourth despite a slow start and having to come very wide in the straight; could play a leading role on the back of that eyecatching run, provided conditions suit (unraced on slow turf).

Useful and progressive form at 7f before a good step forward on his handicap debut, rattling home for second in the Britannia at Royal Ascot (1m, good to firm); a 5lb rise should be manageable and he has to enter the reckoning despite the subsequent 261-day absence.
