Two wins over 1m2f at Ripon this year (good/good to soft) and a good second to Salamanca City (with whom he is 4lb better off) when stepped up to 1m4f there last time (good); won over 1m2f last September on only previous start here; interesting.

J: Paul Mulrennan

T: Mark Walford

Down the field at York and Windsor on his last two starts but he's won on his last four visits to Ripon (1m2f, good/good to soft), including twice this year; it's surprising he's only ever had one crack at 1m4f, given how well he kept on over that trip in 2024; firmly in calculations back here.

Winner at Epsom (8.5f, good) in April; best run since when close fourth of 15 at Glorious Goodwood (1m1f, good to firm) in a first-time tongue-tie (retained) three weeks ago; can race freely but the Goodwood effort suggests 1m2f could be within range; enters calculations.

4yo who was making his seventh start when winning at Epsom (8.5f, good) in April; two lesser runs have followed but it wasn't a bad effort at Sandown last time and the fact he excelled at Epsom bodes well for today's first visit to Goodwood, which has similarities; wears a first-time tongue-tie.

Has record of 4-10 at Chester and he won this race in 2023; no joy in Bahrain last winter and has mixed record since returned to Britain but he won at Haydock (1m2f, good) in June and was only just caught at Chelmsford last time; remains feasibly treated on his best form and he's respected back at this track.

8yo who made it eight wins from 48 starts when scoring on reappearance at Windsor (11.4f, good) in May; only third of seven there since (11.4f, good to firm) and may be vulnerable to younger legs today, but she's run well in the last two editions of this race and could do so again.

Twice placed at two; missed all of last year; second in two turf maidens this year, and also a fair fifth of 16 in a competitive handicap at Cork; a bit too keen when not quite failing to match his best form on AW debut at Dundalk last month; good overall credentials for this.
