Not beaten far in two 5f Group 1s last August/September (good to firm/yielding) and he finally got off the mark on turf when making all in the Group 3 Palace House Stakes at Newmarket (5f, good to firm) three weeks ago; that was his first run since being gelded and he could be tough to reel in.

Often leads; he's pure quality on the AW (4-4) but has had trouble sustaining his effort on turf, even allowing for being first home on his side in a Group 2 at Goodwood in August; gelded since last seen but whether he'll appreciate this stiff finish is questionable.

Made it 4-4 on AW with a Listed win last November; only one win from nine races on turf; however, comes into the reckoning now following an excellent fourth behind Asfoora in the Nunthorpe. was previously on the wrong side at Goodwood, in a race in which She's Quality was second; might not want it too soft.

Continued to nail it on the AW when making it 4-4 with a Listed win last November; has yet to hack it on turf but he was clear of his group on the wrong side in Jm Jungle's Group 2 at Goodwood recently and this track can suit, too; may yet have a big turf race in him.

Has shot the lights out on the AW, making it 4-4 when impressive in a 6f Listed race at Newcastle in November; he just hasn't had the firepower from the front for that trip, or Ascot's stiff 5f, in three Group races on turf since and although this sharper track could suit better he's unlikely to have wanted the ground to soften.
