The going is Soft.
Both turf runs over 7f on good ground; untroubled to win at Newmarket and Haydock (early July), the latest a weak affair at long odds-on (gelded beforehand); posted a smart RPR last time and he's dangerously unexposed now into a handicap.
Sole defeat came on heavy ground in last season's Group 2 Mill Reef; made all at Kempton 18 days ago (7f novice) and the front two came well clear; the runner-up has since let that form down but this colt clearly brings potential into handicaps.
Only 1-10 but running better this season than his form figures may suggest and contested a Group 2 on his penultimate run; he's not without hope off a reduced mark, provided conditions don't soften up.
Group 3 win last season didn't help his handicap mark and this season is turning into a struggle, with this headgear combination tried last time at Chester.
Only real blip this season came in the Britannia at Royal Ascot; now on a career-high mark after a 3lb rise for winning narrowly at Sandown (7f, soft) and could do with the forecast showers arriving in time; fair shout if they did.
