Bet MGM Rous Stakes (Listed)

Has had a fine season and recorded his first success at listed level when making all in the Beverley Bullet (5f, good to firm) in August. Showed very good speed again before fading late on into fourth (Relief Rally second) in soft-ground Newbury Group 3 since. Bold show likely despite a penalty.

Won Group 3 Renaissance in the mud at the Curragh last autumn but has been operating a little below that level in 2024, finishing down the field in this year's Renaissance last weekend.

It's now 12 runs since his last win in 2022 but he has shaped well in a couple of major sprint handicaps this year, finishing fourth past the post (demoted to fifth) in the Portland at Doncaster 3 weeks ago.

Gained a second 5f listed success at Ayr when dead heating with Azure Blue in June. Creditable second of 9 to Believing in Group 2 Sapphire at the Curragh next time and not disgraced when midfield behind Bradsell in the Group 1 Flying Five there since. Respected with her sights lowered.

Listed winner as a juvenile but has come up short in similar company of late and suspicion she might find a few too strong again.

Won 4 of 5 starts at 2, including Group 2 Lowther at York. Better than ever when 1¼ lengths second of 8 to No Half Measures in Newbury Group 3 (5f, soft) 14 days ago, with the reopposing Democracy Dilemma narrowly behind in fourth. Leading claims.
