As reliable as they come on AW, winning five of his 16 starts in this sphere and second or third on a further nine occasions; has a rare handicap run today but he looks held by Chancellor on their Southwell clash in February (3lb better off for a length but the winner had a bit to spare).

Two Listed wins at Lingfield, including this race 12 months ago; may have needed the run when 3l behind Chancellor at Kempton in December and went desperately close over 1m2f later that month; shouldn't be too far away once more.

Better than ever in most recent AW attempt, winning 1m Listed event at Lingfield; finished behind two of today's opponents at Ascot since, taking turf record to 0-6; not the percentage call.

Form & Verdict
Looked destined for the very top as a 3yo, winning the German Guineas before a luckless fast-finishing fourth in the 2022 St James's Palace Stakes; only seen once in 2023 when well short of his best; retained ability last year, notably when second in the Sussex Stakes; this would be a penalty kick if in the same form but slow starts were creeping in when last seen and he goes without any headgear (worn on last three starts) on his first run since September; effective on AW and the most likely winner but enough niggling doubts given his prohibitive odds.

7 yo Gelding

OR: 102

Form & Verdict
He boasts a Listed win on his CV and he has run some fine races over this trip in recent months; form appeared to dip at Newcastle three weeks ago but they went no pace early and he was rather marooned in the middle of the track from stall 1; wouldn't be wise to underestimate him.

Campaigned on AW since December, proving consistent until coming up a tad short on finals day last time; has loads of Ascot form but three defeats in this race (finishing positions 074) suggest he can be opposed, especially now aged eight.

Arrives in fine form, beating The Lost King at Kempton in February and runner-up on his two runs since; sneaking back up the weights and he was only fifth in this race 12 months ago off today's mark.

Form & Verdict
Two turf wins last summer; ran respectably in a 1m2f fillies' handicap here three weeks ago but she'll need a big personal best to feature at this level.
