Form & Verdict

Got off the mark on turf at Beverley (7.5f, good to firm) in June off 1lb lower mark when making all; he had to use up energy to lead from a wide stall and didn't have much left once headed when fifth at Beverley (8.5f, good to firm) nine days ago; chance if able to dominate from the front.

J: Alistair Rawlinson

T: Michael Appleby

Free-going front-runner who has won three times this year, most recently here (7.4f, good to firm) in June; suffered worrying dip in form afterwards but steadied the ship with respectable fourth at Epsom (7f, good) last week and will be fine over today's trip; no surprise if he makes a bold bid.

Triple all-the-way winner already in 2024 and perfectly drawn to attack this time, but can sometimes prove too free for his own good and hasn't beaten anything home since the most recent success; risks attached.

0-23 on turf; has run well to be placed on his last three starts, returned to AW when second at Lingfield (7f) last Tuesday; knocking on the door but his losing run is off-putting.

Wins have all come in the summer, mainly a bit earlier; offered more last time and a 2lb drop sees her back on her last successful mark, but she's inconsistent and far from certain to back it up.
