Close against Master Builder on second outing, before 5-6 winner of a Haydock novice (11.6f, good to firm) in June; handicap debut in five-runner race at Salisbury (1m4f, good to firm) five weeks ago was a big advance when he stayed on relentlessly to lead close home; up 7lb and open to further improvement but longer distances seem to beckon.

Thrice-raced son of Galileo; close second at this course (1m2f) on penultimate outing, then went one better at Haydock (11.5f, good to firm; won going away); likely player with further progress on the cards.

Form & Verdict

Won over 1m2f as a 2yo, hinting at stamina potential; latest effort (1m4f; behind a subsequent scorer) also suggests he'll be suited by this step up to 1m6f; 7lb out of weights but Mia Nicholls takes off 5lb.

Easily made all at Newmarket (1m4f, good; 4lb higher today) in May; however, all three starts since (Royal Ascot, Newmarket and Ripon) have been pretty disappointing; sole attempt at 2m (stays 1m6f) was a respectable show on AW last October; whether he stays or not, a revival is needed.

Found a chunk of improvement to easily make all on return at Newmarket (1m4f, good; 7lb higher today) in May; however, both starts since (Royal Ascot and Newmarket) have been pretty disappointing; unraced on good to soft and below form in his one 2023 appearance on soft.

Form & Verdict

Losing run is mounting up but he ties in with Fox Journey on Ascot 2m running two weeks ago and, like that rival, looks likely to benefit from this drop back in distance; no excuses off current mark.

Had three Flat wins last summer and 2-2 on Flat this year, when narrowly prevailing over 1m4f here and upped to 1m6f for a clearcut success eight days ago at Sandown; up 5lb and from Class 4 but this highly productive Flat and hurdles performer on varied ground may yet have more to give.
