9st 13lb

J: Billy Loughnane

T: Charlie Johnston

Useful on turf and has performed well in both AW starts, bolting up in a weak Newcastle novice (7f, Tapeta) as a 2yo and only beaten two necks into third of 14 at Kempton (1m, Polytrack; first-time blinkers) last month; may still have more to offer and respected up 1lb.

J: Neil Callan

T: Charlie Johnston

Runner-up in Royal Ascot handicap in June 2023 but well beaten in the US on final two starts last year and it was the same story on his recent belated reappearance at Doncaster; cheekpieces go on; probably best watched.

8st 13lb

J: Hector Crouch

T: Charlie Johnston

Useful as 2yo; best form last year when winning at Musselburgh (1m1f) and second of 15 at Royal Ascot (1m2f; both on good to firm); highly tried in the US afterwards, finishing last both times; gelded since and back with Charlie Johnston; not dismissed despite his absence.
