Form & Verdict
Ran well when second (of three) at Salisbury last month (6f, good to firm) and not beaten far into fourth at Newbury 15 days ago; could do with the ground drying out (has missed three intended runs on account of soft ground) and others look more appealing.

Four-time AW winner who has finished close up on Tapeta (5f/6f) in his last three runs; record of 1-26 on turf but he's on a lower mark in this sphere and he ran well in the Great St Wilfrid at Ripon (6f, good to firm) last summer; dangerous.

Delivering on 3yo promise this year, winning impressively at Ascot in May and adding the Stewards' Cup consolation here four weeks ago; 2lb rise shouldn't prevent another prominent showing; best form on good or faster.

Lightly-raced 4yo made a winning reappearance at Newmarket in May (5f, good to firm); ran well in first-time cheekpieces at Goodwood last month but he disappointed at York 11 days ago (5.5f, good; blinkered first time); stays 6f and could yet rate higher; no headgear today.

Now 8lb lower than for his Ayr Silver Cup win in 2022; struggled for this yard last season though and he never threatened in a 6f handicap here on his seasonal return four weeks ago; too much to prove for now.

He has run several good races this season, including over C&D, and recent form-figures don't do him justice; should make a bold bid under suitable conditions.

Solid sprint handicapper for the Channons over the years but only occasional flashes of his old self in 2024; has dropped down the weights but he reappeared for new yard with tailed-off effort at Ascot 16 days ago and can only be watched after that.

Form & Verdict
Five of his seven wins have come over C&D, including this race in 2020 and 2021; on the same mark as for last season's win and has to be respected now starting out for his new stable; enthusiasm tempered by the fact that he can get it horribly wrong at the start.

He has had issues at the start but he was quickly into stride on his stable debut at Kempton (6f) and shaped well on that return from 626 days off; if, and there has to be a doubt, he can break as quickly again then he should go well up the far rail.
