Best effort last term when winning in soft ground at Nottingham in October (1m½f), and only weakened late on his return at Sandown. Shade disappointing at Haydock latest and not sure 7f will suit well.
Competitive in Listed/Conditions Stakes races in France (for J C Rouget); joined Ian Williams for £35,000 earlier this year; a moderate 21st of 23 in the Royal Hunt Cup followed by well beaten fifth latest gives him plenty to prove.
Kept busy last year, winning five times, and hinted he was capable of taking advantage of his lower turf mark when catching the eye in the Buckingham Palace Stakes. Showed why he's 1-29 on the surface latest however.
Kept busy last year, winning five times, and hinted he was capable of taking advantage of his lower turf mark when catching the eye in the Buckingham Palace Stakes at Ascot on his return.
Second and third in Listed 7f events last summer. Well beaten twice over 1m but back to 7f with the hood to hopefully kerb his keenness he could be the sort to spring a surprise.
Not disgraced in the valuable sales race at Doncaster last year and stayed on well to win at Lingfield on return. Disappointed in the Britannia from his revised mark but ground went against him there; not ruled out today.
Ran really well on stable debut at Newbury in finishing third of 12 but a long way off that since at Windsor. Drops back to 7f now which historically has suited better so could bounce back.
Never won on turf or beyond 6f but latest strong finishing second over 6f at Newbury suggested both can soon be put right and under the champion jockey today he is a player.
Easy winner of a Chepstow maiden on return over 1m before beaten a nose by a favoured John Gosden horse on handicap debut at Sandown over 7f. Upped 3lb for that but confident there's more to come so fancied here.
6f Yarmouth winner at two took record to 2-3 when winning a 7f Doncaster handicap on return. Upped 6lb in stronger race but certainly one to consider.
Broke his maiden at the third time of asking when registering a victory in a 6f novice contest at Wolverhampton in November last year. Ran well on handicap bow over 6f but 7f latest looked to stretch him.
Showed ability in both juvenile starts, winning the second at Wolverhampton (7f, AW) last October. Stiff 7f looks a good starting point for this season, and although his initial mark is stiff enough, it would be no surprise to see improvement.

Tiger Crusade (6/4), Campari (3/1), Kinsman (5/1), River Nymph (16/1), War Glory (16/1), Ziggle Pops (16/1), Rock Boy Grey (20/1), Sun Power (22/1), Mustarrid (33/1), Love Dreams (33/1), Adelante (50/1), Walhaan (100/1), Aces (100/1)
Few of the older horses here appeal as well treated so three-year-olds could dominate and Roger Charlton's CAMPARI who went down by a nose at Sandown latest gets the nod. Lightly raced handicap debutant Kinsman could be the fly in the ointment off bottom weight although Tiger Crusade is also highly respected after winning at Doncaster last time out on his handicap bow.
