Weatherbys Global Stallions App Handicap

Beat Pals Battalion over C&D in May when rated 3lb lower; not so good twice since and could find a few of these proving stronger.

Three-time C&D winner; near miss off this mark here in May too (5f) and latest unplaced effort at Haydock came at a time when the stable was quiet; no obvious reason why he wouldn't go well.

He had been running creditably on turf prior to a disappointing effort at Ripon 13 days ago; looked all at sea on the undulations on that occasion and the return to a flatter track should suit; could still have a bigger run in him granted a good pace to run at.

Group 3 win as a 2yo (7f, heavy) but progress levelled off for former stable; down the field at Epsom on his stable debut 25 days ago and 6f on quick ground might be an insufficient test.

Veteran who rolled back the years with his Ripon win in April (6f, good); down the field at Haydock since but he's better than that and can't be ruled out.
