Contested three Group races last summer; 1m4f handicaps (good to firm) this season, registering his highest rating when fourth of eight at Newmarket in May but backpedalling from over 3f out when just 9-1 at Royal Ascot; needs to bounce back in first-time headgear but his sights are lowered.
2-5 in France; also scored in December in Bahrain for new connections; managed only seventh in his three subsequent runs there and, after 11 weeks off, same again on latest outing but that was at the Royal meeting here (1m4f, good to firm; 100-1) and probably his best form; needs to build on that.
1-10 for Andre Fabre, the win over 1m3f last June; has had three races for current stable and seemingly showed useful form from the front in a Abu Dhabi Listed race over 1m4f in February on second occasion, but a heavy defeat at Royal Ascot (1m6f, good to firm; 50-1) suggests he is best watched.
Fourth at Newmarket (1m4f, good) on seasonal/stable debut gave encouragement again, followed by a decisive win at Kempton (1m4f, AW) in May; 14-1 but it looked as if 1m6f stretched him when seventh of 16 at Royal Ascot (good to firm; every chance 2f out) and he probably remained in form; needs a close look back at 1m4f.
3yo maiden winner; running on well into a close third of 12 at Newmarket (1m1f, good to firm) this May was his first significant impact in handicaps and perhaps the ground was too soft at Epsom (1m2f) on Oaks day five weeks ago; this new trip gives him a bit more to prove, though.
Career-best form on her first three starts (1m4f, 1m5f and 1m3f handicaps) this season, two of them on good to firm, before she found a Listed race far too tough on latest outing; thereabouts if she bounces straight back.
Better on AW but he did win on good to firm last May; placed in two of his AW starts last winter but tailed off in a hot 2m race at Easter (hooded) and well beaten when returned to turf at Salisbury in May; now tries cheekpieces and a lower turf mark is largely negated by being 4lb out of the handicap.
Improved on second and third starts, latterly when front-running second in a novice at Chepstow (1m2f, good to firm); handicap debut saw him thrown in at the deep end at Royal Ascot (1m4f, good to firm; 80-1) and he sank almost without trace having led to 3f out; could still resume progress but he looks best watched for now.
