Shaped well in three major 7f handicaps this summer (including Buckingham Palace and International here) before getting up on the line in a Racing League contest at Chepstow (7f, good to soft) on Thursday; 1m winner when trained in Ireland; will carry a 3lb penalty if turning out again. |

Second of 15 at Cork (7f, good) in May and back to his best when third of 15 in first-time blinkers (retained) at the Curragh (6.5f, good) last time; has travelled from Ireland to race today and he's firmly in calculations.

Well beaten in the Royal Hunt Cup last time and now 0-8 since going 5-5 in 2yo campaign (won here on debut); however, he ran well when sixth of 21 in the Victoria Cup at Ascot (7f, good) in May and is now 3lb lower; can have a big say if bouncing back to form.

9st 8lb |
Acts on soft and good to firm; 5-5 in 2yo campaign; 0-10 since but has useful form, including in both C&D attempts, the more recent when sixth (off 4lb higher) in this year's Victoria Cup; close third at Chepstow on penultimate run; possibilities if taking well to first-time headgear. |

5-5 in his 2yo campaign but 0-9 since; sixth of 21 in the Victoria Cup at Ascot (7f, good) in May and beaten short head and a nose off this mark at Chepstow (7f, good to soft) nine days ago, so all hope is not lost. |

Fair fourth at Haydock (7f, good) last month and was slowly away when soundly beaten at York (7f, good to firm) most recently; continues to drop down the weights but others make greater appeal on recent evidence.

He's not as good as he was but he exploited a reduced mark at Epsom (7f, good) 11 days ago; may be able to build on that victory and this course winner is capable of another big run under a 5lb penalty. |

26th Aug 2024 Good 0m 7f 3y Class 4 |
9st 10lb |
Back from Meydan to have four races this summer, easily the best of which was his fair fourth at Haydock (7f, good) three starts back; slowly away next time and tried a 5lb claimer on latest; down the weights but others have more pressing claims. |

Runner-up twice in a row at Newcastle (7f/1m, AW) in March; handed tough assignment in Buckingham Palace at Royal Ascot when back from a break (well beaten) but he's now just 1-17 on turf and others have more compelling credentials; wears a first-time tongue-tie.

Runner-up twice in a row at Newcastle (7f/1m, AW) in March; not at his best in two turf starts this summer but his mark has eased 4lb as a result and his better AW record provides hope for a revival. |

20th Jun 2024 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 2 |
9st 1lb |
Series of good efforts in defeat at 7f and 1m on AW over the winter but his latest run in March wasn't one of them (in refitted cheekpieces, discarded today); just 1-16 on turf and has much to prove back on grass. |

Won the Bunbury Cup in good style at Newmarket (7f, good) last month and didn't get the gaps when close ninth of 18 in the International at Ascot (7f, good to firm) last time; his new mark has now kicked in (6lb higher than at Newmarket and 4lb higher than at Ascot) but he's respected nevertheless.

7th Sep 2024 Soft 0m 7f 0y Class 2 |
9st 0lb |
Form dipped in small field at Chepstow last time but record suggests this scenario will suit him better; developing into a useful 7f handicapper otherwise for new yard and won the Bunbury Cup (good) in July, prior to meeting traffic issues in the International here; still of interest. |

Knocking at the door prior to producing a career-best performance in the Bunbury Cup at Newmarket (7f, good) two weeks ago, recording his first win since joining current connections; well treated under a small penalty (future mark 4lb higher) and open to further improvement; major contender. |

All five wins at 7f, on AW and turf, but he couldn't raise his game when well held off just 1lb higher in a similar C&D handicap (good) in October and this again looks a step too far. |
50/1 |
