Weakened into 13th when tried over 2m4f at Royal Ascot (66-1); more interesting today

Third in 2m5f Queen Alexandra at Royal Ascot was clearly his most competitive show in 2025

Won four-runner race last time; upped in grade but he's an in-form candidate

2025 Flat run was Queen Alexandra; others look more solid but he is 10lb below peak mark
NR (1)	Wonder Legend Bay J:Callum Shepherd T:James Ferguson	J:Callum Shepherd T:James Ferguson	138	—	1-211P	108	115	-	30d	—	—	—	21.5	—	—
Reliable and progressive on AW; turf record is a worry, pulled up in the Gold Cup latest
NR (2)	Kyle Of Lochalsh Bay J:David Probert T:Hughie Morrison	J:David Probert T:Hughie Morrison	127	t	3433-6	97	114	106	83d	—	—	—	11.8	—	—
Solid campaign last term (third in this race) and he made a satisfactory return this April
NR (6)	Contacto Bay J:Nicola Currie T:Andrew Balding	J:Nicola Currie T:Andrew Balding	116	—	212-47	86	117	108	21d	—	—	—	9	—	—
Not the same impact in handicaps as last season but he has nevertheless run creditably
