Form & Verdict

Won on soft over hurdles; made an encouraging return to the Flat in July, which he's not lived up to in his two starts since; how to settle him seems to be a perennial issue, which excuses the Ebor at York (found himself in front rank early on) but he never posed a threat in Listed race at Chester (soft; tongue tied first time) 13 days ago; marked overall improvement is needed.

1m2f handicap winner at Royal Ascot (good to firm) last year; took well to hurdling for new yard (same owners) and was ante-post favourite for the Triumph until put in his place by the top juvenile in January; settling him over this new Flat trip looks the issue, hood or no hood, but the late headway over 1m4f on return to Flat four weeks ago was encouraging.

Form & Verdict

Late foal; made his debut only five weeks ago, when taking a novice at Hamilton (1m3f, heavy) in clearcut style from the evens favourite who won a big handicap next time out; highly promising again to follow up in novice at Salisbury (1m2f, good to soft) two weeks ago, when hanging right didn't help but he made all and strode 6l clear from over 1f out; this is a big step up in class but a bold show would not surprise.

Highly progressive in handicaps and he's been a good Listed second the last twice, firstly over C&D and most recently beaten a neck at Newmarket (1m4f, good to firm) when clear of the third; could be bang there once more.

Form & Verdict

Acts on good to soft, unraced on soft; French Listed win in 2022; held up towards rear on first four starts for new yard this term, finishing on the premises in three top handicaps (1m4f, 1n2f and 1m6f) despite sometimes meeting traffic problems; ridden in midfield instead in good handicap at Haydock (1m6f, good) three weeks ago and this time got there in plenty of time, going on to win by a neck; that handicap form makes him a player at this level.

New yard this year; kept on strongly from the back for second of 19 at Royal Ascot (1m4f, good to firm); drawn wide again in top 1m2f handicap here (good to soft) six weeks ago and met traffic problems before running on into fifth; this new trip is bit of a guess but the Ascot run gives plenty of hope and his 2022 French form was a bit better; the strong suspicion is that he's capable of winning a good race off this mark.

Form & Verdict

Unbeaten in this headgear combination in 11.4f handicaps at Windsor on last three outings; did it comfortably on soft ground before harder work on good to firm while showing improved form again on last two starts; this race, however, is a mighty leap up in class.

Came good at fifth attempt, drawing clear inside final furlong to win quite comfortably over C&D (soft) in first-time cheekpieces a fortnight ago; encounters much faster ground and is 6lb higher today but still features prominently in calculations.
