Progressive in his three 2yo starts; looked sure to be suited by middle distances but, having been gelded, he disappointed in last of eight in handicap at Newmarket (1m2f, good) two months ago on reappearance.

Seemed to race lazily off the pace early on first two starts, therefore showing major promise to finish on heels of the leaders in newcomers race at Newmarket (1m, good to firm) and win in good style at Nottingham (1m2f, good to soft); able to race much more prominently at Newcastle (1m2f, AW) on latest start, not doing it easily enough to think he can assume a prominent early pitch today but turning the tables on Newmarket winner confirmed that he's a very good prospect, particularly now upped to 1m4f for handicap debut.

Second at Lingfield (1m4f, AW) on handicap/seasonal debut; held up and travelled best before he was asked the question over 2f out at Newbury (1m3f, good to soft) five weeks ago and the answer was a runaway win; 12lb rise recognises that and a first run on fast ground would pose a question but he's an exciting prospect.

Won Doncaster maiden in promising style in March on the switch to turf; better form in Listed race at Epsom (again 1m2f on good) in April but, in sixth of eight, seemingly had some limitations exposed; needs better in today's first-time cheekpieces and may well stay.

Nine races and despite pedigree he has not proved his stamina beyond 1m, having tried 1m1f (final 2yo start) and 1m2f (second start this term); his respectable second in a conditions race last time was over 7f and he raced freely; despite connections, others are more persuasive.

Co-second favourite for 14-runner handicap debut at Leopardstown (1m4f, good) last time and he was always prominent to win in something of a bunched finish; open to further improvement for top connections.

Staying-on third in Listed race at Newbury (7f, good to soft) was easily best of three runs as 2yo; enough stamina in the pedigree but he needs to settle a lot better than in 1m2f Newmarket handicap on reappearance.

Carries his head rather high but has been asked some serious questions and came up with the answers in cheekpieces on the last three of his four starts as 2yo; outspeeded where it mattered when creditable fifth of eight in 1m2f handicap at Newmarket (good) on return; 1m4f will help and he's been gelded but further improvement is needed.

Had only one of his 12 rivals behind him on turn for home in handicap at Leopardstown (1m2f, good) in April but led final 1f to win by nearly 4l; on that evidence he will stay 1m4f and looks a good prospect but he was withdrawn after the rain fell when he was the likely favourite for Group 3 Chester Vase in May; talked of as a Derby candidate at the time, so has to be of major interest off a mark of 100 in this handicap.

Albeit in a three-runner race, making all in handicap at Newmarket (1m4f, good to firm) last time confirmed that 1m4f is more his cup of tea than 1m2f; up 4lb into a vastly more competitive race but may have more to give.

Won the last two of his three novice contests, latterly at Windsor (1m2f, good to firm); made all and showed his three rivals a clean pair of heels late on in handicap at Sandown (1m2f, soft) month later; has been on a steep upward curve and there's stamina in the pedigree; up 10lb and into a much more competitive race but he needs respect.

Cheekpieces this term; made all for wide-margin win in a Salisbury novice (1m2f, soft) and strong-finishing second on handicap debut at Chester (1m2f, good to soft) 16 days later; up 3lb and could face different ground but shapes as if 1m4f will help; changed hands for £170,000 on Monday.

Sixth start and first win came at Chester (1m4f, good to soft) last month, leading late on after being forced wide; comfortably followed up in three-runner race at Haydock (1m6f, good to firm) eight days ago; has more in the tank along with 6lb penalty; respected.

No match for the winner at Kempton (1m, AW) in November or Newcastle (1m2f, AW) in April; his only serious rival was a flop in maiden at Ripon (1m2f, soft) last month but he won it by a street and isn't easy to pin down on this handicap debut, over new trip he looks sure to stay.

Two out of four and improved markedly each time; second to Siskany at Windsor before ending up thoroughly in charge on handicap debut at Leicester ten days ago, both 1m2f on good to firm; well treated under 6lb penalty and 1m4f can help with further improvement; shortlisted.

AW winner on final 2yo start; just hung on from Tashkhan at York (1m4f, good) last month and was himself pipped at Doncaster (14.5f, good to firm) against stablemate Dancing King who's in Wednesday's Queen's Vase; well handicapped up just 2lb and his trainer has won this race six times.

Landed the gamble on handicap/seasonal debut at Navan (1m2f, heavy) on final start for Emmet Mullins; so nearly overhauled Kondo Isami at York (1m4f, good) and built on that when striding clear over 1m2f at Haydock (soft); up another 11lb but going back to 1m4f will help and he's a serious contender.

Three out of three following his novice events at Kempton (AW) and Windsor (1m2f, good) and a tidy front-running success in five-runner handicap at Salisbury (1m2f, soft); likely to stay 1m4f; up 6lb for this very different assignment but it's hard to say just how good he is.

All three starts on AW; obliged in workmanlike style when evens in a three-runner race at Wolverhampton in March before good second in another 1m4f novice at Lingfield seven weeks ago; now tongue tied; early days but this is clearly a very different assignment on handicap debut.
RACING POST TIP
Surrey Gold
It will be fascinating to see how strong Sir Lamorak is in the market, after he temporarily had a high profile for the Derby when due to run in the Chester Vase. Nagano could be a big improver but there's a question of whether he is street-wise enough to overcome possible trouble in running from an inside stall. Tashkhan, drawn 1, has stacks of potential at the other end of the weights. SURREY GOLD, contrastingly, is drawn very wide and that has often proved an advantage in this race. With rain forecast for Wednesday night, he is selected to follow up his stylish win at Newbury, with Sir Lamorak the most likely danger. Surefire and Soapy Stevens are others to note.
