Won on soft as 2yo; reappearance win last April saw him pitched afterwards into Listed and Group events, in which he was initially on the premises but his handicap mark shot up as a result; ninth of 12 to Respond at Chester wasn't a greatly auspicious return to handicap company on reappearance this season and connections now reach for headgear.

Very close to his best when beating 13 others to land Newbury handicap in April and he made all at Epsom (also 1m2f, good) ten days later; may have been fortunate to beat a subsequently impressive winner on the latter occasion, however, and this career-high mark demands a fair bit more.

Ran just three times last year, winning at Sandown (1m2f, good to firm) on the second occasion, and soft ground there may not have suited when last seen; also unproven on good to soft; this lightly raced 6yo is capable of having a big say if fully tuned up and handling conditions.

Reserve; 5yo who has had just seven races, tailed off in C&D Group 2 here in 2024 on his only run on firmer than good; didn't spark again until gelded and finishing close up in 1m2f handicaps at York and Newbury last September; left the Gosdens for 58,000gns in October and cheekpieces are removed on this first run since; it's not the most solid profile but he's worth another go at 1m4f and isn't entirely ruled out.

T: George Boughey

Effective at 7f earlier in career but seems to need much further now and gained last three wins over 1m4f/1m6f (stays 2m); still has a much better strike-rate on AW than on turf in any case and looks unlikely to figure in this hot prize, back down sharply in distance.

Moving up to 1m4f worked well in December and comparable form at 1m6f/2m since, including another win three starts back; he's come up a bit short in warmer races this year, though, including behind Align The Stars at Kempton, and none of his turf form (admittedly at up to 1m2f) is close to this mark.

Fifth of 15 in a hot 3yo handicap at last year's Ebor meeting (1m, good to firm); another solid 1m course effort when sixth of 18 in Class 2 on Dante meeting reappearance; that rates a good launchpad for the season from this still unexposed 4yo; makes obvious appeal under Ryan Moore.

Respectable efforts last July-September after moving into handicaps, the best run coming over C&D (good to firm) in August when close fifth of 17; gelded since last seen and it's possible this lightly raced 4yo will have more to offer for his good yard this term.

Runner-up last September in his first two handicaps (1m2f/1m, soft/good to soft) and not beaten far when ninth of 24 on reappearance in the Spring Cup at Newbury (1m, good); perhaps unsuited by Epsom when down the field a fortnight ago and this unexposed 4yo remains one to be interested in.

Wide-margin win (7f, heavy) on his sole start at two promised plenty and, after being campaigned over 1m2f and 1m4f, he recorded a clear career best when second of 15 over 1m at Newbury (good to soft) on his final start at three; subsequently gelded and his reappearance when beaten less than 4l at Newbury in April was perfectly respectable; unexposed and he's respected.

Bounced back from a disappointing handicap debut on turf with a win over C&D last October; weakened to finish well held on 1m3f York reappearance 13 days ago but it's possible this lightly raced 4yo simply needed that first outing for eight months (gelded).

Ex-Irish 5yo; overall record of 1-13 but he's been in good form for new yard this season and has been placed in Class 2 events (1m2f) in his last two starts; seems versatile ground-wise and he could make a major impact if this sets up for his closing style.
