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.

Form & Verdict

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.

Had many happy days here, winning four at 5f (on a variety of ground) and beaten about 1l in this race in 2018 and 2019; well held on reappearance in a Group 3 but has more going for him back on this track; regular rider Adam Kirby switches to Summerghand but Kevin Stott is 1-1 on him.

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.

Came from the back of the centre group to win this at 80-1 last year (good to firm); unable to reproduce that form at different courses on his four starts since but a strongly run race on fast ground over this C&D clearly brings out the best in him, and it will be no surprise if he's in the mix.
