Expert View: Bit keen in new headgear combo, back to form beaten 1 1/4l off this mark at Windsor last time; trainer in form; effective 7f/1m on sound surface; chance if building on latest.

Star rating: 4

Form Snapshot: A winner at 7f on the all-weather, but that win was over two years ago. Third of 11 behind Aim For The Bull beaten 1 1/4l at 11-1 on his latest outing at Windsor over 1m (good to firm) last month.

Stable Tour Quotes

Ben Brookhouse (19 February 2024): "He’s a very nice youngster who won impressively at Newcastle first time out as a two-year-old. He then ran in the £100,000 EBF Final at York but just got the wrong rub of the green out the gates. He is very nice, and he would be my Royal Ascot horse this year."
