A nice prize looked his for the taking after showing so much promise in 2019 but winless since October that year and is only 1lb lower than when ninth in this race 12 months ago; ran creditably in the Stewards' Cup, albeit soft ground was in his favour; cheekpieces left off.

Winner of a big 6f handicap on soft but nearly all of his 15 wins have come on good or quicker; under the handicapper's thumb this year but he's been dropped 3lb for a respectable run in the Ayr Silver Cup last Saturday and he does have a good record here, 2-4 in C&D handicaps. |

His last three wins, two this season, have come at Chester; full value for last week's success (5f, good to soft) where he overcame both a wide draw and trouble in running and a 2lb rise looks generous; 2-3 over C&D and he's of some interest, even allowing for stall 1. |

Seeking his first win of the campaign but this two-time Stewards' Cup hero retains serious ability, as evidenced by his close third at the Ebor meeting (6f, good to firm; blinkered first time); wouldn't judge him too harshly on his latest Beverley fourth (5f); while he's lumbered with top weight, he finished second in this race two years ago off a 2lb higher mark; should run his race but minor money perhaps his best hope. |

Fourth in this race in 2019 but has saved his best form for his mature years, winning the Stewards' Cup at Goodwood last August (6f, good to firm) and adding conditions stakes, Group 3 and Listed races this year; penalty for the last-named makes this a mighty task but still unwise to rule out.

Sufficient evidence to suggests he's better on AW now and unplaced in three major turf handicaps this summer; ended up last of six, beaten 11l, in a 7f Group 2 at York four weeks ago but that doesn't tell the whole tale as he tanked through the race and traded as short as 3-1 in running at one stage before weakening; not easily recommended but the talent is there. |

9st 1lb |
Has nothing to prove at this level, having been a well-backed winner of the Wokingham in 2020 (good) and close up in that race this June (soft); is lower in the weights than for his two previous attempts in this race but he didn't run near his best either time. |

Suited by good to soft or slower; an up-and-comer over 6f last year, winning a French Group 3 on his final start, but this season isn't going so well and he was miles back at Ripon last month; needs major about-turn.

11th Nov 2023 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 1 |
9st 5lb |
Four AW runs, winning 6f novice on Wolverhampton Tapeta as 2yo; nearly all best form on soft or slower on turf; seen only six times since Group 2 win at the Curragh in May 2022 but he wasn't too far off his best when fifth in a Group 2 at Chantilly recently and ran well enough in a C&D Group 3 on 2022 reappearance to think he can make a go of it back here. |

Dual Group-race winning sprinter in his time who has finished unplaced in three starts since returning from 259 days off in July, albeit his latest outing was at Group 1 level; has winning form on Tapeta and this is easier so could play a part in the first-time cheekpieces. |

A regular big-race 6f winner over the years (on various ground) who was third in this race last season and dashed home to win at York in May; has beaten very few rivals in three runs since but is now just 1lb higher than for his York win and fitting cheekpieces could put an edge on him.

Won the Britannia over 1m at Royal Ascot in 2018 and a Group 2 (good) and a Listed race (soft) since; not yet threatened for new yard but has dropped down the weights and shown clear signs of retaining ability over an inadequate 5f, such as when a strong-finishing fourth on unfavourable terms in a recent Listed Beverley race; major player.

Minor turf winner at two; had some useful AW form over the winter and wasn't at all disgraced in the Wokingham at Royal Ascot considering soft ground wouldn't have suited and he lost two shoes; sold out of Archie Watson's yard for 90,000gns since; may be capable of better at this level; first-time tongue-tie replaces cheekpieces.

Won his maiden over 6f but is a speedy sort who is well suited by shorter trips, as when a cosy winner at Chester recently (5.5f, good; acts well on soft); will do well to stretch his stamina to this tough 6f.
