Denied clear run before going close at Doncaster (6f, good to firm) last month and is excused subsequent defeat in valuable race but he's yet to add to his 2yo Group 2 win and would appeal more on good or faster ground.

Yet to add to his 2yo Royal Ascot win in 2022 but he's tumbled down the weights and went very close at Doncaster (6f, good to firm) last month when he had to be switched for a run; back to form when third at Leicester (6f, soft) recently and today's better ground could be a plus; in calculations. |

Came good with emphatic win in Carlisle novice (6f, good; first-time blinkers) last month, his seventh run; faces tougher task on handicap return but a stiff 6f suits him well; effective on good to soft, unraced on slower.

Found a weak turf novice when off the mark in August, since when he's been turned over twice as favourite in handicaps; switched from blinkers to a visor and is capable off this mark but drawn wide and has been turned over at 5-1 or shorter eight times. |

Won a Thirsk maiden (5f, soft) last April but has mixed record in handicaps since and was beaten 7l with cheekpieces added at Haydock last time; looks well handicapped on her peak form but she's now 1-10 and comes with risks attached on AW debut. |

Placed twice on soft turf this season (5f/5.5f) and lost out only by a neck at Southwell (6f, AW) in July; excused last month's down-the-field run (bled from the nose) but this stiff test at 6f may not be ideal.

Inconsistent and has modest 2-26 strike-rate but he ran well when third at Doncaster (5.6f, soft) last month and went close at Southwell (6f, AW) subsequently; he's a contender if again on a going day. |

Hinted at possible return to form when fourth at Doncaster (6f, good to firm) last month, his third stable start, but never really got involved on latest outing and now has questions to answer again; raced mainly on good or faster ground but once ran okay on good to soft.

He was running well on the AW towards the end of last year (won 7f Chelmsford handicap in November) having won over C&D for another yard in June (good to firm); back from a break but stable in fine form at present and he is one to take seriously. |
