Won the competitive Golden Mile Handicap at Glorious Goodwood (good to soft) in July; ran poorly when stepped up to Group 3 company at Haydock last time but his peak form offers plenty of hope that he can make an impact outside of handicaps.

Fourth to Addeybb in this 12 months ago; has added Group 3/Listed wins over 1m2f at Sandown (soft/good) this year to his impressive career haul but Juan Elcano was too strong for him at Royal Ascot and he also needs to shrug aside below-par efforts on his last two starts.

11th Nov 2023 Standard 1m 4f 98y Class 2 |
9st 8lb |
Retains a useful level of ability aged ten and went close at Ayr three starts back; however, on a long losing sequence and looks unlikely to regain the winning thread in this major handicap. |
25/1 |

4th 2 (8) |
28th Oct 2023 Heavy 1m 2f 43y Class 2 |
9st 9lb |
10yo who is without a win since July 2021 but, having dropped down the weights, he went very close at Ayr (1m2f, good to soft) last month; respectable run in Ascot Group 3 since and he handles heavy ground; contender. |
5/1 |
|
4th 5 (8) |
7th Oct 2023 Good 1m 3f 211y Class 1 |
9st 6lb |
Held up; won this race in 2020 when it was held at York (sixth in it here last year); no win since July 2021 and, aged 10, he does not look the force of old; still managed fourth in the Ebor at York three starts ago and beaten a head at Ayr on latest, but that handicap form falls some way short of what should be required to win this again. |

Better than ever after wind surgery when landing Wolferton at Royal Ascot (1m2f, good to firm) in June; just as good when second in York Group 2 in July; flying too high in the International back at York last time but he's the one to beat with his sights lowered.

Started his career in bumpers/hurdles; has done very well on the Flat this summer, including landing two C&D handicaps, but he was a well-held second back here (behind a stablemate) on Thursday and is biting off more than he can chew at this level.

Well beaten on all five starts for David Pipe, the last two on heavy ground last month; comes here with a lot to prove but combination of better ground and first-time blinkers may enable an upturn. |

Plenty of competitive form on the Flat and over hurdles for previous yards but has looked cold as ice in three runs for this one; could yet turn a corner and well treated if he did. |

Prominent racer; well beaten at Royal Ascot (Listed won by Juan Elcano) and in Salisbury Group 3 the last twice so he arrives with a bit to prove; his usual hood which was left off at Salisbury is now back in place.

7th Sep 2022 Good 1m 2f 43y Class 2 |

Useful on his day but has a better strike-rate on AW than on turf and there's also a question mark over his current form (duck eggs last three outings); usual hood removed; other preferred. |

Showed pretty useful form when taking a 1m2f fillies' handicap at York's Ebor meeting (good to firm) but well held in Listed company at Hamilton and Pontefract prior to that and likely she'll come up short at this level again.

Bits and pieces of form on turf last year (including placed in Listed company), but losing run up to 13 despite slipping down the weights; makes her AW debut after 81 days off and record suggests she may need it, while this trip looks short of her best. |

OR: 99
Italian Derby runner-up in May but he finished a well-held fourth in 1m6f Goodwood Group 3 on his yard debut three weeks ago; perhaps that trip stretched him but he will need to have come on a good deal for the outing to trouble an on-song Juan Elcano.

Two-time course winner but over shorter and this is a belated first run over 6f; soft ground is a further cause for concern. |

23rd Sep 2023 Good To Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |

Two-time course winner (7f) who easily made all at Musselburgh (7f) last month; fair efforts the next twice but goes up in grade and back up in trip today and he may be vulnerable once more. |

6th Oct 2023 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
8st 2lb |
Best effort this year when swooping late to win a Racing League event at Southwell (7f, AW) three weeks ago; does not look overburdened with a 5lb rise and Amie Waugh's claim helps offset that anyway; yet to show his form at 6f but this stiff track should suit and he's capable of another big run. |

Down the field in novice/maiden events over 6f/7f on good to firm; needs to be completely transformed by this longer distance if he's to play a meaningful role.
