Form & Verdict
Popped up on the July course last month and his subsequent 7f run was perfectly respectable; returning to this trip will suit and he should make a bold bid to win this race for a third time (2019 and 2021 winner).

J: Neil Callan

T: Tom Tate

Three heavy defeats at big prices in 6f handicaps at York this summer; easy to write off this 11yo on that evidence but he comes alive at Newmarket (six wins and three placed efforts from 14 visits) and he is 9lb lower than when a close third behind Spring Bloom and Dashing Dick in this race last year; revival would come as no surprise.

Form & Verdict
Returned from seven months off to win an Ascot handicap in April (well backed) and he followed up on the July course (both 5f on good to firm); reportedly had an irregular heartbeat after disappointing at Goodwood last time; still feasibly treated if over that setback but 6f presents a question mark.

Form & Verdict
Useful 2yo, including winning a valuable sales race in Ireland, but he is still seeking his first handicap win; sold out of Richard Fahey's stable for 16,000gns in July; down in the weights and likely best watched on his stable debut.

All five wins have been on turf, the last three over this trip; only 2lb higher than for his latest success (June 2025) and he reappeared with a promising effort over 6f at Leicester (good to firm) last month; looks interesting on this step back up in trip and he's versatile ground-wise.

Form & Verdict
Hasn't delivered on the promise of his 3yo campaign this year, including in two runs since a wind operation in May; latest Sandown run (7f, good) was better than the distance beaten suggests though and returning to 6f should help, as will the drop back into Class 4 company; could yet revive.
