Has won at Sandown and Newmarket this season over this trip and either of those runs put him in the mix for this AW debut but has thrown in some lesser efforts as well.
Likes it here and following some below par efforts on turf bounced back when pipped close home over C&D last month. 2lb rise was to be expected and obvious chance to go one better.
Disappointed when last seen in July but had wind surgery shortly after so that probably explains that defeat away. Yard continue in form and still lightly raced enough for improvement to be expected.
Heavily backed over C&D recently and looked improved performer when scoring with a bit in hand. That was off the back of a gelding operation and the blinkers worn before were left off. 6lb higher now.
DIOCLES OF ROME looked a progressive type after gelding operation last time and is taken to follow up at the expense of Cavatina with Fakhoor of interest back from a break.
