Both wins on turf, most recently in July 2022; very useful form in 2023, on Tapeta elsewhere (1m) and when first home on his side in valuable 7f Ascot handicap, but latest two runs, on turf and Polytrack, haven't been anything special and this is his first 6f run since a winning 2yo debut.

Ended unbeaten 3yo season by charging clear in Group 3 over C&D last June; had niggling setbacks since and hasn't appreciated the new experience of testing ground following 15 months off (in a Group 1 last time); this surface looks sure to suit better and it's fair to keep the faith for now.

21st Oct 2023 Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 1 |
9st 1lb |
Looked a potential top-notcher when rattling off a hat-trick of wins in the first half of 2022, trouncing the progressive Annaf in Newcastle Group 3 (6f, AW) for the last of them; off 455 days and weak in the market when only third of five in similar event at Newbury (5f, heavy) on reappearance four weeks ago; carries risks after that below-par return, but the run might have blown away the cobwebs and today's step back up in trip should suit. |
12/1 |

3rd 5 (2) |
23rd Sep 2023 Heavy 0m 5f 34y Class 1 |
9st 0lb |
Beaten a head on debut but she won her next four starts, notably a defeat of a respected rival in a Group 3 at Newcastle when last seen 455 days ago (6f, AW); her British Champions Sprint entry gives an idea of the regard she's held in but she's raced exclusively on good or quicker when on turf and she's never tackled 5f; good claims on ratings but there are risks. |

Missed a chunk of his career but has shown what a high-quality sprinter he is when sharing a major 6f handicap at York in August and later finishing a close fourth of 24 in the Ayr Gold Cup in September; not for the first time he subsided on testing ground last month but of interest now switched to the AW (dam and two of her siblings won on Polytrack).

Missed 2022; first signs of retaining ability with his eyecatching finish in the Wokingham; excuses on next two starts before producing a strong finish to dead-heat with Summerghand at the Ebor meeting last month (6f, good to firm); finished behind his old rival in Ireland 13 days ago when running creditably without threatening; 3lb wrong under his penalty but this test could suit him well; shortlisted. |

In his element in heavy-ground handicaps for new yard, winning the 6f Stewards' Cup at Glorious Goodwood and over 5f at Doncaster recently; had comparable form on Polytrack earlier in career and romped away on Wolverhampton Tapeta in June but his Newcastle form is a worry, a Group 3 defeat being easily excused but the last to finish in two subsequent handicaps.

In rude health for much of the summer and he's just 1lb higher than when winning the Stewards' Cup (6f, heavy) in August; however, he's failed to replicate that form on his four runs since and needs to raise his game. |

Has work to do on these terms and was never in contention when dropped to 6f at Newmarket last month (soft) but had hinted earlier that a sprint trip wouldn't be a forlorn hope and the return to Tapeta is worth a go, having won impressively at Wolverhampton (7f) on final 2yo start.

Has her quirks - she has hung left on occasions - and her overall profile is one of inconsistency; no denying she's talented though and the ease with which she travelled through a good 7f handicap (heavy) at Newbury three weeks ago bodes well for her claims now dropping to 6f; rain would aid her cause; interesting despite looking to face an uphill task at the weights. |

Four AW runs, winning 6f novice on Wolverhampton Tapeta as 2yo; nearly all best form on soft or slower on turf; seen only six times since Group 2 win at the Curragh in May 2022 but he wasn't too far off his best when fifth in a Group 2 at Chantilly recently and ran well enough in a C&D Group 3 on 2022 reappearance to think he can make a go of it back here.

Dual Group-race winning sprinter in his time who has finished unplaced in three starts since returning from 259 days off in July, albeit his latest outing was at Group 1 level; has winning form on Tapeta and this is easier so could play a part in the first-time cheekpieces. |
