9st 2lb |
Ended his 2023 campaign with a third of 20 in a 5f handicap at this meeting; he's made giant strides as a 4yo, winning 5f handicaps on good to soft at Musselburgh and Thirsk in the first half of the year before taking his form to a new level with a last-gasp win in the Portland last week (5.5f, good); 3lb wrong under his penalty but he overcame adversity at Doncaster and his style of racing means it is hard to gauge where his ceiling lies; one of two good chances for Jim Goldie. |

Yet to win a turf handicap but he's a fixture in these hot races and confirmed his wellbeing with a second in the Stewards' Cup at Goodwood three weeks ago (also second in that race in 2023); had a favourable draw there but it was another fine effort and there's no obvious reason why he wouldn't be suited by this track (bad draw on previous visit). |

He has been in better form than his figures suggest since returning from a stint in Bahrain, including his run here at the Dante meeting when he raced closest to the stands' rail; ran a cracker from a poor draw in this race 12 months ago and returns off a 4lb lower mark; last four visits to York have all produced good efforts and a big run can be expected. |

In top form in July, winning a big-field handicap at Ascot (5f, good to firm), and below-par efforts at Goodwood (awkward start in Stewards' Cup) and York (poorly drawn) since are best forgiven; a stiff 5f is probably ideal and he's unlikely to be far away. |

3yo who was a fair sixth in the 7f Group 3 Nell Gwyn on reappearance and bounced back from two lesser efforts when coming from the rear to finish second in handicap here (5f, good to firm) on last month's stable debut; back up in grade today but the extra yardage could be a plus; chance. |

Looked destined for big things when running away with a Yarmouth maiden on her debut last May (5f, good to firm); that hasn't been the case as yet, but she hasn't been seen to best effect in either run this season (both 7f Group 3s on good ground); makes her handicap debut but not obviously well treated. |

6yo who has won twice this year (5f, good to soft/good to firm) and looked as good as ever when scoring at Pontefract last month; however, he's on a career-high mark in this more competitive race and a bare 5f may be his optimum trip; 12th in this last year and may again be vulnerable.

Very lightly raced 5yo who posted a Listed fourth in 2022 for Roger Varian and is well treated on that form; picked up for 14,000gns last month and one to watch in the betting on debut for trainer who does well with recruits from other yards, but he was headstrong and merely ninth on his two starts this summer after a long absence, and has something to prove; cheekpieces go on.

Won his only start at two and showed useful ability at three, notably a close fourth in a Newbury Listed race (6f, good); absent since finishing down the field in the 2022 Commonwealth Cup 743 days ago; gelded since; market should guide as to how much ability is intact. |

Smart 2yo who was placed in 5f Group races at Royal Ascot and on this track; his 3yo career, what there was of it, didn't go well and although he made a good start for this yard at Meydan (6f, good) in January, he finished lame there in February; clearly capable of a big run on past form. |

His form went the wrong way last season for Donnacha O'Brien and he failed to threaten on his stable and seasonal debut at Newcastle (6f, AW) this June; however, he may have needed that run, the tongue-tie returns today, and he was runner-up in a soft-ground French Group 3 last April; not written off. |

Seventh in this last year; down the field at Windsor last time and he may have been favoured by racing against the near-side rail when making all in the Stewards' Cup at Goodwood (6f, good to firm) two starts ago; however, he's won three of his five British starts this season and can't be ruled out.

Quiet in Bahrain over the winter but he's 3-4 since returning to Britain this summer including a front-running win in the Stewards' Cup at Goodwood (6f, good to firm) nine days ago; a 3lb rise for that success looks fair and he's a big player again. |
