Form & Verdict

1lb lower than for his last win; two runs back from wind surgery haven't been his best and he is taking on some potential improvers today.

T: Richard Hannon

Close third in this in 2024 and he enhanced a good C&D record when winning last year's edition (good to firm) from this mark; placed on his next four starts and had a soft-ground excuse on final start that term; had wind surgery ahead of a quiet comeback at Newbury three weeks ago but no surprise if this day has been ringed in his calendar.

Suited by good/firmer and has won four 1m2f handicaps, the latest last May; he seemed in need of the run when 28-1 in this race the time before, so that's a concern on today's first run since his second wind surgery.

Six-time turf winner who returned after seven months off with a strong-finishing second over C&D (good to firm) in April; up 3lb but he remains well handicapped on his best form and he's an interesting contender with Oisin Murphy booked.

Two of his six wins have come over C&D; can go well fresh so his low-key return to action at Yarmouth last month was disappointing; down in class and has the assistance of Henry Callan in the saddle so he could leave that well behind.

Dual turf winner but his last six wins have been on AW and latest was at Lingfield (1m2f) in April; hard to rule out another good effort but a 4lb rise makes things tougher and his last turf run was 12 months ago.

J: Darragh Keenan

T: David Simcock

A regular on the AW here (three wins) who's much higher in the weights than when last seen frequently on turf; generally consistent but whether he's up to this mark on grass is the leading question, and Quamby looks his trainer's best chance.

Four-time winner over 1m/1m2f here and just 1lb higher than when beating a dual subsequent winner at Wolverhampton (8.6f, Tapeta) in January, but he has the outside stall and will require some luck given his come-from-behind style.

Form & Verdict
Narrowly denied a now smart stablemate in a Windsor novice (1m, good to firm) last June; hasn't really gone on from that in handicaps since but he had a near-miss off a reduced mark at Kempton (1m3f) last month; dictated a steady pace in that five-runner race but he could get any easy lead again and he's only 1lb higher on this return to turf; respected.

J: Billy Loughnane

T: John & Thady Gosden

Progressive 4yo who impressed in big-field handicap at Glorious Goodwood (1m2f, good) and was a close third of 15 at York (1m2f, good to firm) subsequently; his surplus stamina may be no bad thing in what is likely to be a strongly run race and he's respected for his top stable.

J: Ryan Moore

T: John & Thady Gosden

Carries his head high but his profile has been progressive since cheekpieces have gone on and he produced a smart handicap performance when comfortably accounting for his 17 rivals over this trip at Glorious Goodwood (good) 25 days ago; his two other wins came on good to firm; an 8lb rise demands further improvement but no surprise were he to find it.

Both wins on good to firm at Windsor; carries his head high but recorded two seconds and a win over 1m3f, 1m2f and an extended 1m3f from his three starts since the cheekpieces went on this term, putting him on an upward curve.
