Form & Verdict
Well-related gelding who has done well since switched to handicaps, winning on AW at Lingfield (1m2f) in January and going close at Goodwood (1m2f, good) 17 days ago; only 1lb higher than for that last run and he's an interesting contender at this new trip; cheekpieces worn last time are removed.

Shot up the weights for winning handicaps at Windsor (good) and Chester (good to soft), and a 9lb rise for the latest of those appeared an issue when third of four at Ascot (1m2f), though that was another below-par run on fast ground; these conditions could be more favourable and a hood is added.

Unraced on firmer than good except when well beaten on debut; highly progressive in handicaps and won at Windsor (11.4f, good) and Chester (10.3f, good to soft; first two 5l clear) on last two outings; keeps on finding more, and it's rash to say he can't do it again, but 9lb rise demands it for sure.

Very much on the up since sent handicapping and he cosily bagged a second success at Windsor (11.5f) last month; up 4lb but that form is working out really well so this son of Dubawi is a big player.

Well held at big prices in three 2yo runs but he looked a different proposition when justifying favouritism on handicap debut at Nottingham (1m2f, good) last month; up 6lb but that was a comfortable success and he's open to more progress at this new trip; big player for yard that won this in 2021 and 2022.

Always prominent to justify favouritism on handicap/seasonal debut at Nottingham (1m2f, good) in April; languished in rear, contrastingly, for most of the race at Windsor (11.4f, good) 19 days ago but started to pass rivals over 1f out and finished second of seven; 1m6f beckons strongly after that performance, so he could have more to give.

Form & Verdict
Camelot colt who went close on handicap debut at Yarmouth (1m2f, good to firm) last month before making virtually all in similar conditions at Redcar nine days later; this is tougher off 6lb higher but he pulled clear with the runner-up last time and he's still unexposed; respected.

This year's wins at Redcar (1m2f, good to firm) and Thirsk (1m4f, good) were from the front; last two defeats suggest his progress may have levelled out, for all that he was tried over 1m6f both times; probably needs his best yet.

Last ran at this distance when taking Leicester maiden (good to soft) in October; scored at Lingfield in June and, after a blip, it was a solid second here (also 1m2f, good) 19 days ago; went for home soon enough on latter occasion and this drop back in trip is no reason to dismiss her; contender.

Windsor fourth has been well advertised since (first three all successful next time) and she did her bit when winning a 1m2f Lingfield handicap last month; that continued the pattern of steady progress and she may well be up to defying a 5lb rise.

Beaten 10l or more in three 2yo runs (7f/1m) but his RPRs were progressive and this is more realistic on handicap debut; has been gelded and he needs a close look upped to this trip on his reappearance.

Gained breakthrough win at Beverley (1m4f, good to firm) last month, having swapped blinkers for first-time hood, which has been kept since; second since at Thirsk (1m4f, good to soft; raced very wide) and Kempton (1m3f, AW; arrived much too late from the back) showed he's well capable of a prominent finish here as well even if he requires some riding.
