8yo who seemingly isn't the force of old (no win since C&D Group 2 in July 2022) but retains considerable ability and was a respectable fourth of seven at Goodwood (1m1f, good to firm) three weeks ago after a break; could build on that with a stronger pace likely now back up in trip; contender.

9st 7lb |
On a two-year losing spell and seemingly past his best aged eight, though he still retains a useful level of ability judged on this year's AW form; far from solid based on 2023 turf results and chance largely depends on how well he responds to new headgear. |

Mid-division at this meeting last year on his only visit; 6yo who's been held up this term and has never been better than in two Sandown 1m races (won and went close) this May/June, having scored comfortably over 1m2f there last summer; shaped as if still in good form (not clear run) in Enfjaar's top York handicap on latest start; considered each-way. |
