Stepping up to 1m6f with cheekpieces enlisted resulted in wins at Goodwood (good) and Newmarket (good to firm); that's not ironed out all the kinks, though, as he looked hard work at Glorious Goodwood 18 days ago on his way to a fair fifth of 13, with Small Fry in second; probably needs to resume improvement on this first go at 2m but he's one to be reckoned with if first-time blinkers receive the same response that first-time cheekpieces did.

Stepped up to 1m6f with cheekpieces enlisted for last two starts and won them both, doing it smoothly at this track (good) and having to battle when prevailing by a neck in valuable race at Newmarket (good to firm); raised another 3lb but looks a serious contender once again.

J: William Buick

T: John & Thady Gosden

All the rage in the betting for his first two starts this season, with the line coming a touch too soon on first occasion (1m2f); rather muted on the step up to 1m4f behind Wine Dark Sea at Ascot (good to firm) next time but the combination of 1m6f and first-time headgear worked a treat at Goodwood (good) seven weeks ago when he travelled much the best on his way to a tidy win; 5lb rise may well underestimate what he had in the tank.

J: Mason Paetel

T: Simon & Ed Crisford

Won at Leicester (1m4f, good to soft) last October and reappeared with a good second at Goodwood (1m6f, good) in May, both from the front; soft ground was likely to blame at Epsom on Derby Day but recent return to action was pretty spectacular when a change in tactics saw him come from last to first in a well-contested 13-runner race at Southwell (1m3f, AW); has a 4lb penalty after that narrow win but this lightly raced 4yo now promises better still and a good 5lb claimer is enlisted; player if the ground isn't too soft.

Looked a progressive sort last year (3-5) and ran well to finish runner-up on his Goodwood reappearance (1m6f, good) in May; soft ground the likely reason for his dismal effort at Epsom (1m4f) on Derby Day and better expected if taking to the AW.

Unraced as a juvenile but now boasts 3-6 record, winning his first two and back on the scoresheet when making all at Leicester (1m4f, good to soft) in October; bumped into a quite well-regarded sort when second at Goodwood (1m6f, good) a fortnight ago and this unexposed 4yo looks a big contender to build on that encouraging return.

Her second win last year came over C&D (good to soft); career-best form when second at Musselburgh (1m6f, soft) on reappearance, meeting trouble in running, but she could not lay a glove on the principals when returned to 1m4f at Ripon (good) three weeks later; return to 1m6f will presumably help and might offset good ground if it dries out; one to consider.

Close second in this race (good) on her 2025 reappearance and went on to score twice at about 1m6f later in the year; returned with a career-best second of 13 at Musselburgh (1m6f, soft) three weeks ago, arguably deserving extra credit considering she met a bit of trouble; successful on her two other visits to Ripon; reasons to be positive.

Third turf win was a narrow one off this mark at Newbury (2m, good; rallying) in April on his final start last year; ran creditably once in 2025 on Polytrack and it's not hard to make excuses for his three turf runs this year, including the Chester Cup, but a revival is needed and such a wide draw probably makes that harder.
