Commentary

Progressive sort who won on all-weather at Wolverhampton and Lingfield this spring before excellent thirds in big fields at Newbury (6f) and the Curragh (5f) in recent months. Lesser effort back at the Curragh last month but is the type to bounce back quickly, though is drawn wide here.
