Form & Verdict
Made most and found plenty on July course reappearance (1m, good to firm; unraced on slower than good) but lacked sparkle when short-priced favourite for the big 1m handicap at Goodwood in July; needs to be every bit as good back at 7f as 1m if he's to defy an 8lb higher mark than for the win which is not guaranteed.

Lightly raced for his age and has a 7-13 strike-rate; conceded 15lb to English Oak when making all to beat him by 2l in a handicap on the Rowley Mile at Newmarket (7f, good) in May, and showed he didn't have to lead when landing a Group 3 on the July Course there (7f, good to firm) last month; still seems to be improving at the age of six and is not opposed lightly.

Lightly raced 6yo who took his record to six wins from 12 starts when displaying improved form to make all in a handicap on the Rowley course here (7f, good) eight weeks ago; while he enjoyed the run of that race he did record an RPR which would have been good enough to win three of the last six runnings of this.

Ran on three consecutive days at the start of September, winning the second of them (6f, good); has flagged since, however, and her one 7f run suggests she will do very well to outstay these rivals; 2lb wrong.

Triple AW winner; is 0-4 on turf but he did well enough in two narrow defeats, at Haydock in April (closely matched with Oo De Lally) and at Doncaster last month (both at 7f; good to firm) to think he can find a race on grass before long.

Began 2023 with a pair of AW wins, notably the Lincoln Trial at Wolverhampton (RPR 106); also ran a fine race at Newcastle in June (1m) and this month's fifth in a 1m Listed race at Kempton was another fair effort; stamina for today's trip not assured but he won't be far away if it sparks anything extra from him.

Found plenty on the rising ground when making a successful return in C&D conditions stakes (good); has had some excuses since but stout effort to get as close as he did in 7f Listed race at Chester in July and a thorough test back over C&D will suit; can go well.

Useful 7f handicapper in Britain and seemed to see out the 1m okay when a closing, eyecatching fifth at Meydan on his penultimate run (never dangerous over 7f there the final time); his tendency to start slowly continues to hold him back and this strong a handicap takes no prisoners, but the ability is there to take a hand.
