Front-running Lockinge Stakes winner in 2024 when with John Gosden but he's been winless since taking out a Goodwood Group 2 six weeks later; running creditably for his new yard since May, however, including when second of seven in Leopardstown Group 2 (1m, good) in this headgear combination a fortnight ago; place claims again.

T: David O’Meara

Front-running Lockinge Stakes winner in 2024 when with John Gosden but winless since later that year; however, has run plenty of fine races in defeat since joining this yard including twice at this track lately and once at the Curragh; can be keen so a hood is added to cheekpieces today; a bit to find.

Low-mileage 4yo who finished close up in valuable 7f handicaps at Royal Ascot and here (both good to firm) on last two appearances; doesn't have that much to find with the principals on this return to Listed company but has never run in a sprint before.

Scurry win (beating Dark Thirty) in July came over slightly further off 98, and most recently recorded seventh career win when landing a big pot at York last month (Coul Angel third) on good-to-soft; still improving 5yo up 16lb this season but has to be respected.

His career has been one of steady but consistent progress; won at Epsom (6f, soft) and the Currragh (6.2f, good to firm) this season and ran a sound race in the Stewards' Cup at Goodwood, perhaps finding that sharp test on fast ground inadequate; can't call upon course form but the weather has turned in his favour and he has another major handicap in him.

T: Charlie Fellowes

Won his 2yo maiden over C&D when based in Ireland; last win was a Meydan Listed race in 2023, but he's kept good company during his losing stretch; remains capable of smart form and might have gone close in a valuable 7f handicap at Galway had he not been caught in a pocket; considered.

Valvano

J: Hector Crouch

T: Ralph Beckett

Has some flashes of smart form (including on sole AW start when second to Notable Speech) so it's disappointing that he's won just once in ten races, and more new headgear was tried when sixth on his reappearance in the Lincoln; that was a pretty good effort from off the pace and he returns from another break after wind surgery and with no aids fitted; has a fair record when fresh, so dangerous to dismiss.

Lightly raced 5yo who has run well in defeat more often than not in handicaps, finishing third of 14 over C&D (heavy) in October when last seen; however, he may need testing ground to be a serious force at this trip, having run well at up to 1m4f here in the past; wears first-time tongue-tie/blinkers.

Acts of good to firm and good to soft; landed a handicap at Haydock (7f) last May in convincing style before a good fourth in the Sandringham (1m); hasn't seen much action since, but she ran well over 1m here in May and was third of 19 at York (7f) last time; nudged up 2lb but she should go well again on this drop back in grade.
