Fair effort when fifth of eight on 7f debut at Doncaster, considering he was slowly away, but he had more on his plate next time at Newmarket (1m) and ran accordingly; handicaps more likely after this.

Irish Derby entry; 95,000euros yearling; by Golden Horn out of half-sister to Grade 3 winner in US; probably ordinary form when winning on Nottingham debut (1m, heavy; favourite) but never seriously challenged and it was a thoroughly pleasing start; different conditions here but 1m2f will suit.

Won on heavy-ground debut last October and, having been gelded, he returned to form when third in a first-time hood at Ascot (1m4f, soft) last time; the hood is left off today and he can be headstrong, but he'll get plenty of cover in this field and his surplus stamina may be no bad thing.

Still looks unexposed after five runs; best effort when second of 13 in the competitive London Gold Cup at Newbury (1m2f) in May and he was far from disgraced after racing freely at Royal Ascot (1m4f) next time; should stay this far and he seems to handle any ground; high on the list.

Broke the ice with wins at Thirsk (1m4f, good to soft) and Haydock (1m6f, good) this summer, before improving again with a narrow success at Goodwood (1m6f, good to firm) three weeks ago; dictated the pace last time and kept pulling out more in a bunched finish; that was terrifically game and suggested that 2m is well worth a go but marked further progress is required on this graduation from handicaps.
