Sole win came on fast ground over 7f at Newbury last July and he remains 2lb higher than that. Made a decent debut for this yard on his reappearance at Wetherby last month before finishing 12th of 19 at York over 1m1f on good to firm ground.
Late starting three-year-old Closely related to very smart French winner up to 1m4f Laverock and half-brother to French winner up to 1m4f Right Note. Disappointing last time out when last of eight, but was eased when beaten at Goodwood.
Has run well the last twice and went much closer at Ayr at the end of May over 1m2f on good ground, than his fifth placed finish suggests, before beaten 3L, fifth of seven in a Wetherby handicap as 7/4f.
Finished in front of both Ralphy Boy and Ellaal when second at Musselburgh on only her second start of the year in early June, before beating 10 rivals last time out in a Carlisle handicap over 1m on good ground.

Trinity Star (5/2), Destroyer (11/4), Yorkee Mo Sabee (3/1), Gloriosus (6/1), Full Of Promise (7/1), Toriano (7/1), Billy Roberts (20/1), Hitman (25/1)
Difficult to name a pacemaker in this, so it could be left to the Mark Johnston pair, Gloriosus and YORKEE MO SABEE, who deserves a change of luck and could well get it with the return of jockey, Franny Norton. Destroyer, who has made a decent start for his new yard with two very solid efforts at York can grab a place.
