Went close in C&D handicap (good) at last year's Dante meeting in May; had been gelded when one of three of these who didn't see which way the winner went at Goodwood in May but better effort, albeit well held, when second at Beverley (1m2f, good) a fortnight ago; not fully exposed and gets first-time cheekpieces.

J: P J McDonald

T: Andrew Balding

Low-mileage 4yo who showed promise in handicaps at around 1m2f last year, finishing runner-up twice on good; shaped as if needing his Goodwood reappearance after a gelding operation and remains one who should be up to winning handicaps this season; non-runner due to unsuitable ground on good to firm at Windsor earlier in the week but should have a big say if allowed to take his chance.

J: Callum Hutchinson

Looked on the up when twice runner-up in 1m2f handicaps at Sandown and York last spring; not seen out after posting just a fair fourth at Newmarket in July but subsequently gelded and remains with potential for yard among the winners.

9st 3lb

J: Oisin Murphy

T: Andrew Balding

Stuck in the mud when favourite for an Italian Group 2 on his final 2yo start but firmly back on the up with his two runner-up efforts in handicaps this season; there wasn't much separating the first four at York (10.3f, good) last time but he's only 1lb higher here and should be in the thick of things again.
