Form & Verdict
Progressive sprinter last summer, notably winning a competitive 3yo handicap at Glorious Goodwood; yet to add to his tally this year but he looks to retain a chunk of ability and his latest second wasn't too bad behind a well-ridden winner; dropped 5lb for that and he needs consideration.

Landed a hat-trick on the AW early last year, the final leg off 2lb lower; back in form lately, most recently in a race that didn't pan out his way, but needs a bit more back on turf from the lowest stall (likely to be dropped in again).

Form & Verdict
Coaxed back to his best by this yard, winning impressively over 6f here in May and adding the Stewards' Cup consolation race in July; looked set to go in again at Goodwood on Sunday, cruising to the front but picked off late by a well-handicapped rival; earlier 5f efforts need bettering but the way he travelled through the race last time offers hope it will suit; more appealing than many.

The winner of three of his last six starts (the last five since back with his original trainer) and it is easy to strike a line through his Carlisle effort when he ran into several dead ends; respectable third (fourth past the post) at Windsor on Thursday and this track might play more to his strengths.

Over two years since he last ran on the AW but that made it 2-2 at Wolverhampton; won last year's Stewards' Cup and this year's Wokingham, so clearly a tip-top handicapper when on his game; found the ground too slow in last month's big handicap at Goodwood but his run back there last time is not so easily forgiven.

Sprang a 40-1 surprise in this race 12 months ago, making all to beat Apollo One with the stands' rail proving advantageous; unsuccessful stint in Bahrain early in the year saw his handicap mark ease and he's returned to Britain with a bang, making all at Ascot (6f, good to firm; strong tailwind) in May and repeating the dose in the Wokingham there six weeks ago; only 4lb higher and foolish to think he couldn't slip the field again.
