Form & Verdict
7f 2yo winner who kept on well to win in a small field here (6f, good to firm) a fortnight ago; this is more competitive but he did it cosily under Ryan Moore, who remains on board, and the return to 7f may be a plus.

Thriving on this course this summer, and beat Lion Of Mali a neck over C&D three weeks ago; edging up the weights only slowly and should give another good account of himself.

7f Catterick maiden win as a 2yo; two solid runs this year sandwich a modest effort on the Rowley course; Ryan Moore returns to the saddle; still has low mileage and he can't be ruled out.

Made it 3-4 for the year when winning at Leicester (7f, good to firm) in April and bounced back from a lesser run on soft ground with another win at Sandown last month (7f, good; Kimbara second); had just half a length to spare but he had to wait for a clear run and all of his wins have been by narrow margins; could still be ahead of the handicapper up 3lb.

Likeable 7f specialist (all four wins at this trip); just edged out by Sierra Sands over C&D three weeks ago; holding his form really well and should be in the thick of things again.

Yet to score but he built up a solid record for Simon and Ed Crisford and has shaped well on both runs for his new yard when a close third in handicaps at York (7f) and over C&D; can race off the same mark here so another bold showing is on the cards.

Eight-race maiden who made the running on first three starts this term but switched to trying to come from the rear when hooded on both since; Newmarket latest (7f, good to firm; 40-1) was a positive performance as he seemed to be gathering momentum in the closing stages and was beaten just 2l in sixth of 11; dropped 2lb today and everything may well click into place soon.
