Won the corresponding event 12 months ago off a 6lb higher mark; not come close to matching that form in seven runs since but this spring's two efforts have come over 5f and this will be more suitable; 2-2 at Redcar and a full revival could be imminent.

Unexposed 4yo; hugely encouraging seasonal return at Newbury (6f, good; gelded during his absence) a fortnight ago, missing a beat at the start but moving through to lead inside the final furlong before being picked off close home; 2lb well in and this flashy grey appeals as the type to win a major sprint handicap this year; solid contender.

Managed only a midfield finish in the Portland Handicap (5.6f, good) when last seen in September but he was favourite for that prestigious event having won well at Newmarket on penultimate start; still has potential after just six starts, three of which have resulted in 6f wins; looks the type to be contesting major sprint handicaps this summer but stall 1 is a slight query on his return (best pace looks middle to high); gelded since last seen.

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.
