D-Day for Guineas contender to show that he's still a potential star

2.00 Newbury
SP forecast 6-4

Highly progressive last season, winning two handicaps, a Listed contest and then the Group 3 Geoffrey Freer here before being sent off at just 6-1 for the St Leger. Finished a well-beaten tenth at Doncaster, but that couldn’t have been his running and has to be forgiven. Otherwise entitled to favouritism assuming he’s ready to go, although stable slow to hit top gear and only 2-23 in past fortnight, both winners being short-priced maidens.

Conclusion Fully entitled to his price, but would like to see trainer having more success.
