Only 1-9 but he was tackling this trip for the first time here nine days ago and would surely have won without being hampered up the straight; that was also against older opposition and compensation may await off the same mark, especially with a useful 5lb claimer employed this time.

13th Sep 2024 Good 1m 6f 115y Class 2 |
8st 10lb |
Below form at Royal Ascot in his only handicap on good to firm; cheekpieces enlisted on last three outings and resumed improvement when stepped up to 2m at Goodwood for last two, unlucky on first occasion but hugely on top under a 5lb claimer ten days ago; respected as a progressive 3yo but he has a 6lb penalty and the step back in trip may not be ideal. |

Course winner who last season finished second over 2m4f at Royal Ascot before winning the Northumberland Plate at Newcastle (2m, AW); delivered a rare poor run on final appearance at last year's Glorious Goodwood and now returns from the longest break of his career; perhaps best watched.

9st 12lb |
Cast-iron stayer who nearly always gives his running and after solid efforts at Chester (2m2f, soft) and Royal Ascot (2m4f, good) he bagged last month's Northumberland Plate (2m AW) by half a length; won this two years ago and later that campaign nearly won the November Handicap off this very mark; no ground preferences; hard to knock. |

Won twice over 1m6f last summer, but his second in first-time cheekpieces over 2m on Lingfield AW in March is a standout run in 2024; others safer.

Ex-Irish 6yo who saw no action in 2023; well held in valuable handicaps before returning to form with a near miss at the Shergar Cup (2m, good); a repeat of that effort won't see him far away.

10st 0lb |
Ex-Irish 6yo (went well there in the mud) who missed 2023; reappearance showed plenty of ability but he suffered in the early scrum at Royal Ascot (50-1) and weakened right out of it at Newmarket July festival (16-1); cheekpieces last two starts; stamina is not cast-iron but he is down the weights. |

Ex-Irish 6yo (went well there in the mud) who missed 2023; reappearance showed plenty of ability remains but he suffered in the early scrum at Royal Ascot (1m6f) which may help to explain why he failed to figure, albeit 50-1 anyway that day in the first-time cheekpieces; 4lb lower than reappearance. |

Missed all of 2023; well beaten in his first two races back but then won the 2m4f handicap at the big meeting here last month for a second time in three years; back up 6lb but he likes it here and 2m doesn't trouble him.

2nd Aug 2024 Good To Firm 2m 4f 97y Class 2 |
9st 5lb |
Won this two years ago (good to firm) off 3lb higher; 640 days off before soundly beaten at Royal Ascot and although he finished vastly closer in Temporize's race at Newbury 13 days ago, that was a steadily run race and he was ninth of ten; will probably take longer to return to winning ways. |

20th Jul 2024 Good To Soft 2m 0f 110y Class 2 |
8st 11lb |
Has won on good to soft; surged to new heights in July 2022 when winning at Kempton (2m, AW) and Glorious Goodwood (2m4f, good to firm); the latter display would make him a player (same mark today) and he was prominent to 2f out when soundly beaten at Royal Ascot (2m4f) on his return from 640 days off, but others have a bit less to prove at present. |

Without a success since the 2019 Ascot Stakes at the Royal meeting; confirmed his liking for that venue when right behind Beamish at this year's Shergar Cup, but below that level since and he's been unplaced in five previous visits here.

10th Aug 2024 Good 1m 7f 209y Class 2 |
8st 11lb |
No win since Royal Ascot 2019; still a plucky stalwart of some major staying races last term (third in this too) but he's now a 10yo and failed to fire this year at Royal Ascot, where he previously had a superb record; down to another career-low mark, following his ninth of 18 at Goodwood eight days ago, but others have to be preferred. |

Won valuable series final on latest hurdle start at Haydock (1m7f, good to soft) last April when 7lb lower, and was in good form on the Flat afterwards; didn't jump with any real fluency when runner-up on chase debut at Huntingdon (2m, good) but he should have learnt from that. |
