Form & Verdict

Strike-rate of 2-28 in no way does him justice as he's run some cracking races in top 7f handicaps, not least when runner-up at the Royal meeting in June (good to firm); however, is particularly effective at Ascot and less so here, only eighth in this race last year.

Switches with ease between 6f and 7f, winning a less competitive event at the latter trip on the Rowley course in September and running a fine third in the Wokingham at Ascot in June (6f, good to firm); needs more back at 7f.

Form & Verdict

Winner of sole 2yo start but missed 2021; has returned with impressive 7f wins this year, doing well to extricate himself from a tricky position at Goodwood in May when soft ground was thought to be against him; has since finished just behind Ropey Guest and Rhoscolyn at the Royal meeting (7f, good to firm) but he didn't get as clear a run as either and remains unexposed; interesting.

Had a good spell at 7f in 2021 and little between him and Jumby on their form at the Rowley course in the autumn (good to firm); however, was well behind Montassib at Goodwood in May and subsequent defeats suggest he has his share of weight relative to this level.

Good winner of only previous course start, over 1m last July (good to firm), and although 8lb higher here he showed he can still show the youngsters a thing or two when a close second to Vafortino in a leading Ascot handicap over 7f in May; more realistic chance here than at the big Ascot meeting since but up against it for win purposes.

Form & Verdict

Took sizeable step forward when beating subsequent Listed winner a shade cosily on handicap debut at York in May (7f, good); travelled strongly in first-time cheekpieces (retained) in Group 3 Jersey at Royal Ascot but ultimately a one-paced sixth; due to go up 8lb in future and entitled to improve back in a handicap.

Form & Verdict

Suited by good to firm and looked a force to be reckoned with under these conditions when racing away with a C&D event last July before running a stormer in a top Ascot handicap; below best in two runs this year but he never had a fair shake at Royal Ascot (7f, good to firm) and is capable of playing a much bigger part.

Form & Verdict

Has won both 7f starts for this yard, at Redcar (good to soft) and York (good), and while he was impressive with the way he travelled in the latter he was hard pressed to hold on in that lesser race; this is a more searching test all round.
