Haynes, Hanson & Clark Conditions Stakes (Colts & Geldings)

Thrice-raced colt who ran poorly in the Acomb most recently; good fourth in the Vintage Stakes at Goodwood (7f, good) the time before and drops back in class with a leading chance on that form.

Gelded prior to half-length success at Kempton (7f, AW) two weeks ago, taking novice record to 221; this Godolphin runner, who cost 400,000euros as a yearling, is open to further progress.

Well beaten on debut but took a huge step forward at Sandown (1m, good) where, having been hampered by the first past the post, he was awarded the race after a stewards' inquiry; may improve further.

Cost 340,000gns as a yearling; both starts over 7f on AW, finishing second at Southwell then recording a 2l success at Kempton; in excellent hands and brings potential to this better grade.

Record of 1-6 reflects that he's more exposed than these rivals; brings Group form (6f/7f) and appears to have a fighting chance on ratings but he was below par when upped to 1m last time.
