Prolific last summer and he got off the mark for this campaign with a cosy win in a Class 2 at Newbury in August (7f, good to soft), weaving his way through the field and picking up smartly (cheekpieces on for the first time); disappointed at Ascot next time (reportedly unsuited by getting no cover); still feasibly treated but taking on some fast horses on his first 5f run for some time.

Can look trickly but he's a smart sprinter on his day and he has a more consistent profile on AW than turf; 5lb rise for his C&D win in August, where he broke the course record without being fully extended, looks fair and he's a major player.

Two AW wins in the spring, one of them over C&D, and he took a big step forward when seeing off 25 rivals in the Palace Of Holyroodhouse Stakes at Royal Ascot; beaten favourite twice since but still not fully exposed and the return to AW, allied to the fitting of cheekpieces, could spark extra; should be involved.

Progressive 3yo who came from the rear to win in a big field over C&D at the Royal meeting (good to firm; unraced on softer than good) five weeks ago; a 9lb higher mark demands another personal best but he's lightly raced and may not have reached his ceiling just yet; has to be respected. |
