T: A J Martin

Held up; a superb 2024 included wins in the Chester Plate, this race and the Cesarewitch at Newmarket; 2025 campaign was initially promising then frustrating, including with trouble in running, but ended up being disappointing; he's back to his last winning mark, but that's having been always behind at 40-1 in the Chester Cup last time; he will surely spark again at some point but it's hard to know exactly when.

Held up; an excellent 2024 included wins in the Chester Plate on this card (his only run here) and the Cesarewitch at Newmarket; 2025 campaign was initially promising then frustrating, including with trouble in running, but ended up being disappointing; has a recent 1m2f run under his belt and would be competitive off this slightly reduced mark if back on song.

Course winner; dual-purpose performer wasn't disgraced when bidding for repeat win in the Cesarewitch last month; disappointed when favourite for Cheltenham handicap hurdle a fortnight ago; market will guide returning to AW.

0-7 over hurdles but he has developed into a useful staying handicapper on the Flat since last attempt and returns to this code looking very attractively treated; not disgraced last time when bidding for a repeat win in the Cesarewitch; shortlisted.
