Took a nasty fall at York in May but showed himself none the worse when coming from behind to land a second Group 3 win at Haydock (7f, good) last month; needs a bit more in order to win this and he may not want the ground to dry out too much, but it could be run to suit and he is 3-4 over 7f.

This confirmed hold-up performer came from last to first in this 12 months ago but has been operating a little below that level this year; will likely need a strong pace to aim if he's to go back to back in this race.

His form can be up and down and last month's near-miss in the Group 2 Hungerford Stakes (7f, good to firm) came at Newbury, a track which brings out the best in him (won the same race last year on good to soft); however, he's shown promise at this course, he should be fine now back up to 1m, and has leading form claims if at the top of his game.

Wasn't beaten far in this last year from stall 8, a decent effort given he was slowly away (as is often the case) and said to have hung right-handed throughout; has been rather patchy this season but is capable if they go hard in front and set it up for the closers.

Form & Verdict

Won this in 2022 but his recent form is a long way removed from that level; last Saturday's third of nine in a 7f Newmarket handicap (good to firm) was a step back in the right direction but he'll need a good bit more again if he's to taste success in this for a second time.

7f Group 3 winner last summer; slow start to this season but he appreciated the drop in class when third in a Newmarket handicap 12 days ago and he ran a stormer when beaten a nose and a short-head into third in the Group 2 Hungerford Stakes on Saturday; this will be his AW debut but he's related to AW winners and he has to enter calculations given he's officially 9lb well in.

Bred in the purple (a Kingman half-brother to Frankel) and has made a promising start to his career, winning at Newmarket (7f, good) in April and stepping up on that form when second of six in Listed race at Sandown (1m, soft; raced freely) the following month; this is a sterner assignment but he's unlikely to have reached his ceiling just yet; quite an interesting contender.

Won 1m novice but has excelled at shorter trips in his most recent handicaps, finding only a well-treated dual Wokingham winner too good over 6f here (good) in October and having too much firepower for five rivals on second run back this year at Haydock (7f, soft) last month; up 9lb in a better race but on the crest of a wave and he holds Group entries in July.
