Form & Verdict

His form went the wrong way last season for Donnacha O'Brien and he failed to threaten on his stable and seasonal debut at Newcastle (6f, AW) this June; however, he may have needed that run, the tongue-tie returns today, and he was runner-up in a soft-ground French Group 3 last April; not written off.

Rallied to win off 1lb higher at Goodwood (6f, heavy) in May but he's not matched that form since and was only fifth of eight in a Class 3 over C&D last time; finished behind three of today's rivals in that race and has some work to do back up in grade; another switch of headgear.

Form & Verdict

Inconsistent but this C&D winner was runner-up at Newbury (6f, good) in May and returned to form when seventh of 25 in the Stewards' Cup over C&D (good to firm) three weeks ago, when denied a clear run; also effective on good to soft ground; high on the list.

Inconsistent and not at the top of his game when fifth of seven at Goodwood three weeks ago; however, prior to that he was a creditable seventh in the Stewards' Cup there (6f, good to firm), where he raced in the unfavoured centre group and was denied a clear run, and he's now 2lb lower; capable.

Group 3 winner over 5f as a 2yo; 0-9 since his juvenile campaign but showed he remained a force in handicaps when second to Lethal Levi at Newbury in May (6f, good); that was a race in which nothing got into it from off the pace, though, and he was put in his place in the Wokingham six weeks ago.

Won at Windsor (6f, heavy) in May and followed up in big field at York (6f, good to soft), before fine third of 20 there (6f, good to soft); respectable efforts on good ground the last twice and could build on those when back on a slow surface; one to be interested in.

Looked firmly on the up in May, beating Snuggle on heavy ground at Windsor and then seeing off 20 rivals in a York sprint 19 days later (6f, good to soft); unable to make the transition into Class 2 company on his last two starts but he's a strong contender at this level; wouldn't want the ground to dry out too much.

Ideally suited by ground slower than good; belatedly fulfilling his early promise this year, winning at Windsor and York before solid efforts in defeat the last twice; likely this mark is still in range and the more rain that falls the better.

In fine form at regular haunt Windsor this summer but he was a neck second over C&D last September on his sole previous visit to Goodwood and can be bang there once more; versatile ground-wise.
