Sea The Stars colt; merely workmanlike when odds-on winner of 1m Kempton AW novice on second start last autumn; justified strong home reputation when powering clear in a 1m2f conditions race at Leicester; had an unusual profile for this race, having never run in a stakes race, but can be rated a serious contender nonetheless.

After opening this campaign in the Derby and a Royal Ascot handicap, his sights were lowered somewhat when justifying favouritism in a Racing League handicap at Newcastle (1m4f, AW); met with a heavy defeat at Ascot five weeks ago but he'd looked capable of better going into that and perhaps the soft ground was to blame; may be worth another chance.
