Unbeaten in 6f and 7f handicaps (good to firm, good to soft and good), leaving it late over C&D in July and again delivered at just the right moment to follow up in a warm York handicap in August (two of those in the frame close up in Group races since); the likely strong pace will be ideal back at 6f and in the thick of it under penalty (raised same amount in future).

Successful 5f debut at Carlisle but Group 2 races over 6f at Royal Ascot and York proved beyond him last summer; has plenty to prove on return from an absence and easier handicaps await later. |

Finished a close second in the Bronze Cup in 2021 but he was a long way back in this race last year and his two C&D wins came in less competitive races than this.

Beat The Caltonian over C&D off this mark in June; in and out since but he won this race 12 months ago off a higher mark and he's one of the likelier types. |

Up against it on the wrong side in the Silver Cup ten days ago but he'll be happier back in a Class 4 and now on the same mark as the latest of his three course wins (6f, good to firm) in June; one to be interested in. |

Ex-Archie Watson; would have finished closer in a good Windsor handicap (6f, good to firm) in August but for being hampered but he hasn't looked ahead of his mark since winning off 1lb higher at Doncaster in May; needs extra for the change of scenery.

Prominent-racer for whom the addition of blinkers has had a positive effect, with him winning at Doncaster (6f, good to soft) and placed at Newmarket and Ascot in midsummer; under 2l behind Elmonjed at Windsor 12 days ago but he lacks that rival's potential. |

Has dropped a long way in the weights since making his debut for the yard in April but he's yet to get within about 4l of the winner and is 0-12 on turf; has worn a hood; first-time cheekpieces today.

Has dropped 18lb in the weights this year without really looking like capitalising; this race is easier than the Ayr Silver Cup he contested last time but he is not entirely convincing. |

Slipped down to a lowly mark now and he ran as well as could have been expected in a slowly run 7f event at Newcastle last week; this test could see him in a better light. |

Three 6f wins in 2023 but he's had a fairly slow time of it this year and he was disappointingly off-kilter at Ripon, a track where he excels, last time out.

Two C&D wins last year (soft/good), including this race, and he's lower in the weights than for both those victories; returned to form with close third of six over C&D three weeks ago and he's on the shortlist. |

Did well to win at Haydock (6f, good) in July and he wasn't well drawn there last month; time still on his side and although he might have been happier with rain about he still has potential off current mark.
