Ayr (1m2f) last month was the end of a monumental losing run but he's seldom far away and is versatile regarding distance, so has each-way claims.

Right back on song of late and made it two wins in his last three starts, at Doncaster (1m6f, good to soft) 17 days ago; versatile sort who is not taken lightly up 3lb and back in trip here. |

23rd Aug 2024 Soft 1m 4f 15y Class 2 |

Ended long losing sequence at Ayr (1m2f, good) last Monday and under a 4lb penalty he's lower in the weights than when fourth in this in 2022 (soft) and when third last year (good to soft); each-way contender. |

Won twice in June before failing to land a blow at Glorious Goodwood, all over about 1m4f on good to firm; looked a strong candidate for 1m6f and proved it when asserting late on in a five-runner race at Newmarket (soft) three weeks ago; up 4lb but this 3yo surely retains potential.

Similar type to Assail, with record 2-5; never landed a blow over 1m4f at Glorious Goodwood most recently but looks ready for this step up to 1m6f; remains open to further improvement and is shortlisted. |

Flopped at Royal Ascot on reappearance (his only run on good to firm ground) but has a cracking record in his other four handicaps; stuck to his task most determinedly to get on top close home at York (1m4f, good) three weeks ago; up 5lb but he's progressive and this trip now looks viable.

Won at Haydock (good) last September on handicap debut and close second in valuable handicap at Newmarket (1m4f, soft) in October; gelded since and looked just the sort to make further progress, only to run poorly when prominent in the betting at Royal Ascot but that first experience of good to firm ground may have been against him; can bounce back. |

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.

Got up close home at Wolverhampton (2m, AW) in April on second start for new yard and backed that up with second of 20 in the Northumberland Plate at Newcastle (2m, AW; 40-1) in June; he's close to his career-high mark now, however, and was never dangerous at York (2m) last time; unraced over shorter than 2m since August 2022; first-time cheekpieces need to spark something.

Won on his only visit here, over C&D in May 2022; got up close home at Wolverhampton (2m, AW) in April on second start for new yard and he backed that up with second of 20 in the Northumberland Plate at Newcastle (2m, AW; 40-1) in June on his only start since; returns almost to his career-high mark, but he's back in serious calculations. |

Fourth in the Vase in 2022; absent from November 2022 until November 2023; with new yard for last two starts and got up close home in a six-runner race at Wolverhampton (2m, AW) in April latest; going back up 2lb does not rule him out (peak 2022 form was 4lb higher) and he needs a second look. |

Tends to be slowly away; below form in this race last year, perhaps because of soft ground; creditable minor honours off this mark on all four starts this term (1m4f, 1m6f, 1m5f and 2m) and should be on the premises.

Seen almost twice as often on the AW but had an impressive win on good to firm last August; did well over 2m on AW last winter, notably for an easy Kempton win, but he failed to fire in an AW Championships race next time and finished last in the Chester Cup in May latest; very mixed messages.

Seen twice as often on the AW but had an impressive win on good to firm last August; does not always fire, for instance in AW Championships race at Newcastle on latest outing, but he looks good on his day and the ease of his 2m win on Kempton AW in February can't be forgotten (6lb higher today); this unusual test might just take his fancy. |

Comfortably beat Duty Of Care at Kempton (2m; off 7lb lower) eight weeks ago, taking strike-rate on AW to 4-14 and record under Robert Havlin to 2-3; better than ever this year and may have even more to offer at this trip; shortlisted. |
