Form & Verdict

Upwardly mobile 4yo who followed some luckless defeats with a personal best when winning the Portland Handicap at Doncaster (5.7f, good to soft) last week; just as effective at a bare 5f; should take the move into Group company in his stride and may well follow up.

Could do little wrong in 2021 when wins included this race (good to soft) and a Group 3; fell from grace last year and although he got out of the rut on second start for new yard in April (6f, heavy) he's needed some excuses since; needs to show he still has what it takes.

Useful 5f performer, usually delivered late; as good as ever when runner-up in Listed events at Haydock (good to soft; beaten neck by King's Lynn) and York (good) this year, and he faced a stiff task when down the field in the Nunthorpe last time; interesting to see how he responds to blinkers, replacing the cheekpieces worn on his last three starts.

Smart sprinter, as good as ever at the age of seven; won Shergar Cup Dash at Ascot (5f, good to soft) and Listed Beverley Bullet (5f, good to firm) on his last two starts; a well-run race at this trip plays to his strengths, and he's likely to put up his usual bold show.

Best efforts with forcing tactics at 5f; won back-to-back handicaps at Ascot (heavy/good) in the summer; hasn't had things fall his way since, and he faced a stiff task in Group 1 at the Curragh last Sunday; more realistic opportunity here but he'll still need a career best.

Smart and progressive as 3yo, including on heavy; had a walkabout season in 2022 but has a useful mark to exploit for new yard and duly did so when making the running at Haydock in July (6f, good; first-time cheekpieces, retained since); hasn't lost face in his two runs since and this intermediate trip can suit (seventh of 19 in this race last year).

Listed winner at Haydock (5f, good to soft; beat Moss Gill a neck) in May before meeting trouble in running in two races at Royal Ascot; beaten favourite in 6f Group 3 contest here last time, but he'll be dangerous if revived by a two-month break.

Flexible regarding the ground but heavy going was pushing it when he didn't run well in the Stewards' Cup at Goodwood last month; involved in some rough-housing at Ascot the time before and has a good record here, with sales-race and Listed wins at about 6f from five outings; has slipped a few pounds and can be involved.

Useful sprint handicapper; likely to have won six-runner race at Musselburgh (5f, good) six weeks ago with more luck in running, beaten a short-head after being denied a clear run; has since had wind surgery; cannot be ruled out entirely but others have stronger claims on form.

Has won on ground ranging from good to firm (including over 5f on this track) to soft; dependable at at York and bang there last time out (extended 5f) but just adequate shows in this race in 2019 (seventh) and 2022 (sixth) suggest this isn't quite his race.

Yet to run a moderate race on this course, some sterling efforts including a fourth in this race in 2019 and a close fifth 12 months ago (both on good) when he didn't have much room when trying for a run; 5lb lower this time and his reliability here makes him of interest.

Better known for his 5f exploits but he does have 6f form, including in this race year, and his latest staying-on fourth at Newcastle (5f, AW) was a good run; handles soft ground but the combination of this trip on slow ground might just stretch him.

Prominent-racing 3yo, having a good season; won Listed race at Sandown in the summer and ran just as well when third in handicap at Haydock (also 5f, good to firm) two weeks ago; no obvious reason why he won't give his running again but he needs improvement against some smart older rivals.

Everything fell right when given a tremendous hold-up ride by Jamie Spencer to win at 80-1 in the Group 1 Jubilee Stakes (6f, good to firm) at Royal Ascot in June; that may prove to be a one-off but he kept on for a fair seventh over York's speedy 5f in the Nunthorpe and he should get a suitably strong pace in this big field now back up in trip; not ruled out.
