Made it two wins in a row when winning here (7f, good to soft) in May; not beaten far when sixth to Yanifer here (7f, good to soft) last time from stall two (same berth today) but has to improve upon that form today. |

Way To Dubai should have beaten him but this 4yo still did well to win over C&D (good to soft) in May from where he was turning in; only 4lb higher for this and the Bunbury Cup didn't go entirely to plan. |

Three 7f turf wins in the mud last year; started this season with three placed efforts (7f/1m) but he's been well held in last two runs (turf/AW); has something to prove after another short break and he needs to get back near best.

Hit a personal best on her step back up to 7f when making all on soft at Newbury (12-1) three weeks ago; goes back up in grade off 4lb higher but she found plenty for pressure last time and still looks on a workable mark; respected.

Has a patchy profile but he bounced back with a dominant display at Ffos Las (7.3f, heavy) four weeks ago; a 5lb rise looks fair enough but this is a big step back up in grade and he could have competition for the lead this time; others are more persuasive.

Acts on most ground including heavy; bits of useful form over 7f for Jane Chapple-Hyam and left that trainer for 100,000gns in July; made a low-key start for new yard at Ascot (1m) but this drop back in trip looks a positive and he still has potential after only eight starts; not ruled out.

Hasn't had much racing since his last win in October 2022 and it among his best form when a front-running second of 18 at York (7f, good to soft); however, stall 12 is a blow for one who likes to be up there. |

Prominent-racer who was unlucky not to have won outright at Wolverhampton (8.6f, AW) in June but he was tailed off there in next two runs; still unexposed on turf but he's hard to predict and needs a major revival back in this sphere.
