Form & Verdict

Climbed through the ranks and won seven handicaps last season; took a while to find his form this term but surged back to best to win Listed race at Chester (6f, good to soft; made all) three weeks ago; tactically versatile, just as effective on quick ground and goes well at Newmarket; big player.

Climbed through the ranks and won seven handicaps last season (6f-7f); his improvement has levelled off now and he didn't fire on his last two outings but he's well drawn here and the refitted hood may help him to settle better than last time; has a fighting chance on these terms if back on song.

Ran as well as could have been expected (20-1) when fourth of eight to Quinault at Chester last time, but faces another stern assignment at these weights and unlikely to snap a losing run of over a year.

Useful handicapper who probably posted a career-best effort when close third on seasonal debut at Ascot (6f, good) in May; not quite in same form on his two subsequent 5f starts, though, and is not favoured by the weights or the draw here.

9lb higher than for his Redcar win last summer but he has run some good races in defeat since, including at this track; got it wrong at the start at Redcar three weeks ago and could only manage seventh of the eight runners; drying ground will suit but others are more appealing.

Mud-lover whose three turf wins have come on soft/heavy going; far from disgraced on quicker ground in Group 1s at Royal Ascot and here (seventh of 11 in July Cup) on her last two outings; this represents a big class drop and she would have to be considered seriously if plenty of rain materialises.

Impressive winner of first two races at Southwell (7f, AW) by an aggregate of 14l; thrown in at the deep end in the 2,000 Guineas at Newmarket (1m, good; 25-1) next time and looked all at sea, pulling hard, becoming unbalanced and beaten 30l; may still have untapped potential and his pedigree suggests this return to 7f should suit; not discounted.

Made all in Group 3 Horris Hill at Newmarket (7f, heavy) last November and ran well in defeat over 1m/7f on first four starts this year; weakened in first-time blinkers (retained) in the recent French 2,000 Guineas (1m, soft) and he's worth a crack at a sprint trip, but improvement is needed.

Midfield (below par) in the 2,000 Guineas on sole run this season, appearing to confirm that he's a Commonwealth Cup prospect as opposed to a potential miler; very promising 6f colt (on good/firmer) last term, recording form figures of 211 that culminated in an impressive performance in the Mill Reef at Newbury; retains major potential and looks an exciting contender back down in trip; judged on 2yo evidence, he could easily develop into a top performer at this distance.
