Form & Verdict

Won when up in trip at Kempton (1m3f, AW) recently; he could have more to offer over this sort of distance and he has won on turf, but he's now 2-2 on AW and needs to transfer that last-time-out improvement back to grass.

The horse he beat at Epsom (1m novice; good) is becoming frustrating but this colt ran a pleasing fifth of 13 in the always-strong London Gold Cup at Newbury (1m2f, good); coming back in distance will be no hardship and his yard is going great guns.

Raced mainly on turf; inconsistent since her 2yo success but ran well over C&D on sole AW attempt, splitting subsequent winners including a Royal Ascot scorer, and a repeat of that strong form would put her firmly in the picture; 3lb lower for her return to Kempton.

Met all sorts of trouble on reappearance and has otherwise been in the frame every time; second off this mark at Haydock (1m, good) before getting off the mark by a neck in a novice at Windsor (1m, good to firm) five weeks ago; this marked increase in trip is interesting, including as his dam was a 1m3f winner and close relation to a King George winner at 1m4f.

In the frame in all five starts last year; met all sorts of trouble on reappearance and was better than ever one week later when second of eight in handicap at Haydock (1m, good; unraced on firmer); still a maiden but his best runs, including latest, give him a great chance on form.
