Form & Verdict

Tough 3yo; creditable second of eight at Ascot (1m4f, good) in August; faded after making the running in highly competitive Melrose Handicap at York (1m6f; does stay that far) next time; this is far less demanding, and no surprise if he goes well in receipt of weight from his older rivals.

Useful on the Flat in his prime; in good form in staying hurdles for this rider in recent starts, winning at Newton Abbot and Wincanton; creeping up the weights but an ability to stay well and act on bad ground means he has to come right into the reckoning.

Form & Verdict

His two wins for Christophe Ferland in France last year were over 1m7f, latterly in a Listed race; not so good in his three French starts since, and there was no obvious promise on his British debut at York (changed hands for 30,000euros before that run); probably best watched for the time being.

Hasn't been at his best in Britain this year but he's dropped down the weights and took a step back in the right direction when mid-division in the Ebor at York, where he had to come from a long way back having been dropped in from his wide draw; has won here and he's not discounted.

Fifth in last year's Ebor; has a 9lb lower mark today, having been out of sorts in his last five runs; return to the form shown at Meydan and Riyadh in February would give him a great chance, but it's hard to predict with any confidence that he will do that.

Won four times on turf earlier in the year and is fully effective around here, with her record over C&D reading 13317125; looked unlucky not to go much closer when beaten less than 3l into fifth of eight here last time and with a clearer passage she ought to make her presence felt.
