Form & Verdict
Found a weak 7f novice when off the mark at Redcar (soft) on second start but he wouldn't settle there next time and faded; similar outcome on his handicap/AW debut over that trip at Kempton in May and he looks ripe for the drop in trip; could be interesting.

Promising 3yo last season and things clicked in a major way with a dominant win in a big-field C&D handicap (good) last October when last seen; he's entered in the Group 1 Jubilee Stakes at Royal Ascot and this lightly raced sort is in excellent hands to continue to progress; strong contender.

Patiently ridden 3yo who won in good style at Ayr (6f, good to soft) in July and was anything but disgraced after a slow start when sixth of 25 in the Silver Cup there three weeks ago; gives the impression there's still more in the tank and he'll be dangerous if getting the breaks.

Has benefited from the drop to 6f, dismissing his rivals in fine style over C&D (good to soft) in July and likely finding the ground on the quick side in subsequent runs at Newmarket and Ascot (where sprint times suggested the going was quicker than the official good to soft); comes right into it now the conditions have eased.

Nine runs as a 2yo, winning two of his final three starts, over 7f on soft and heavy; the race was likely needed on return to action (1m) but he didn't find much back over about 7f at Chester in June and now returns to 6f for the first time since quite a promising debut.
