The only maiden in this field, being 0-3; has progressive 5f form, admittedly, and took fifth of 16 in York Listed contest (good to firm) most recently; however, he faces a stiffer task upped further in class and doesn't appear to be crying out for the extra furlong yet.

Mill Reef entry; looks a winner waiting to happen, having finished second in both outings, only a neck behind King Of Light at Musselburgh (5f, good) latest; now in deeper waters but open to further improvement and could go well. |

Registered a novice success in June; campaigned at Group 2 level since, making the frame in the July Stakes and the Richmond then suffering bad luck (unable to recover from interference 2f out) in the Gimcrack; useful but needs extra to land this prize.

Thereabouts in Group 2 races the last twice, finishing a solid second in the July Stakes at Newmarket (strong form) then close fourth in the Richmond at Goodwood; ties in with The Strikin Viking on latter effort; useful gelding but needs extra to land this contest. |

Progressive gelding who brings Group 2 form, having performed well in the July Stakes at Newmarket (6f, good to soft) most recently; won on good to firm there the time before; clear possibilities. |

Lacks recent match practice, having been absent since running well in the Coventry at Royal Ascot (6f, good to firm; close eighth of 22) three months ago; made all at Bath (5f, good to soft) the time before; the market signals may prove the best guide on return to action.

18th Jun 2024 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 1 |
9st 3lb |
Both runs over 5f on good to soft; only just missed out at Newbury and didn't have to improve all that much to justify short odds at Bath, strolling home by 4l; from a yard that's won this race before but he surely needs to step up a fair bit. |

1st 6 (6) |
6th May 2024 Good To Soft 0m 5f 10y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Half-brother to four winners; made a promising debut at Newbury (good to soft) last month, keeping on well for neck second despite being carried right by the winner; sets a fairly useful standard and represents a trainer who won this contest in 2021 and 2023. |

2-2 on ground softer than good, namely comfortable wins over 6f at this course (novice) and Newmarket (sales race); close third to Symbol Of Strength in AW Group 3 at Kempton most recently; proving consistent and holds a solid chance.

Likeable type; took advantage of drop in grade when winning novice at Newbury (6f, good to soft) in July and was far from disgraced when fourth of five in Listed race at Ascot (7f, good to firm) two weeks later; solid form claims and should give it another good shot. |

Showed a game attitude to justify favouritism in Salisbury novice event (6f, good to firm) three weeks ago for a winning debut, rallying towards the finish; bottom of this pack on bare figures but open to progress; two Group 1 entries suggest he's held in high regard.
