Form & Verdict

Has shown ability in all three starts, not beaten far at Goodwood two weeks ago when he had plenty of use made of him; unlikely to fail for lack of stamina but he did have a hard race last time.

Well beaten at Royal Ascot but won at Ripon (1m4f, soft) and Ayr (1m5f, good to firm) starts either side; blinkered at Ayr and when a good third off this mark to Iron Lion at Ripon on latest start, meeting trouble in running; not 100% sure to be as good at 1m6f (went close in 2022 in one of three attempts) but he leaves the strong impression that he still has more to give.
