Form & Verdict

Made rapid progress after her winning debut on Tapeta (unraced on Polytrack) in January; third in the Group 2 Ribblesdale at Royal Ascot (1m4f; favourite) and took her form to a new level when comfortably justifying 5-6 favouritism from God's Window in five-runner Listed race at Hamilton (1m3f, good) in July; has Group 1 entry next month and a major form chance today.

Lightly raced and very progressive, on turf and AW; beat a subsequent US Grade 1 winner on final run of last season at Kempton (1m4f) and again showed strong form when third there on reappearance (1m2f; carried a penalty), as the winner won last weekend's Group 1 at Saint-Cloud and the runner-up a Group 3 next time; has been off for three months and 1m4f may be his optimum trip, but lots to like nonetheless.

Big-race wins in the 1m4f November Handicap last year and the 2m Northumberland Plate this June, both on the Newcastle AW; made a creditable attempt to break his turf duck in the Ebor at York two weeks ago but none of his form, AW or turf, suggests he's a match for the best of these rivals.

Big-race wins in the 1m4f November Handicap last year and the 2m Northumberland Plate eight weeks ago, both on the Newcastle AW; travelled so smoothly through the latter race and asserted well, but he's 8lb higher today and although he's had some minor honours on turf, he now bids for his first turf win at the tenth attempt.

Landed the rescheduled November Handicap over 1m4f here (off 4lb lower) in 2023 and ran well to make the frame over 1m4f/2m in three of his five AW starts this year; player on that but he has a modest strike-rate.

Needs ground softer than good; reappearance success at Newbury (1m4f) enhanced his excellent record in Group 3 races and shows he retains plenty of ability aged eight; ran well in the 2022 Irish St Leger on sole Group 1 attempt but his older legs may be found wanting in this field.
