Expert View: Got fractions right and ran to best 3l third in City Of York Stakes (Group 1) at York most recent run; trainer in form; effective 6/7f, best at 7f, suited by cut; G2 winner generally in good form this summer, dangerous if allowed to dictate down in trip with conditions to suit.

Star rating: 4

Form Snapshot: Successful twice at 7f on soft ground and on the all-weather. Third of 14 behind Notable Speech beaten 3l at 18-1 on his latest outing in the Group 1 Sky Bet City Of York Stakes at York over 7f (good to soft) last month.

Stable Tour Quotes

Andrew Balding (02 June 2026): "He, unfortunately, hasn’t been out this year but he will either go for the Criterion which is now run at York or the Chipchase at Newcastle if the ground is too quick for him."

Andrew Balding (17 April 2025): "He won very well on his return at Kempton. He won very impressively, and we are hoping he might turn out to be a Jersey Stakes horse. He could go for a listed race at the Guineas meeting."
