Form & Verdict

Not aptly named as he's often slowly away, which cost him badly at Doncaster (7f) four weeks ago; won over that C&D the time before, taking well to cheekpieces, but he's a somewhat risky betting proposition.

Form & Verdict

Suited by good/firmer; in decent form having scored at Chester (7f) in June and finished second at Haydock last month; has a record of 2112 over this C&D and the most recent effort (last September) has been boosted by the useful winner since; solid chance back here.

Form & Verdict

Just 1-10 for the Gosden yard then 0-8 for Johnny Murtagh, so his strike-rate could be better; sold for 42,000gns since last run; however, has a good chance off current mark on debut for David O'Meara and this race could set up perfectly for him; the form of his 2021 Royal Ascot effort reads impressively in this context; interesting.
