On the up when a Group 3 winner at Sandown (1m2f, good to soft) in April 2024 but absent for 12 months subsequently and hasn't hit the same heights on his return; latest Goodwood Listed race sixth (Bolster fifth) was a bit better but will need to step up again.

Form & Verdict
Built on his 2yo promise with a win on his handicap and seasonal debut at Newmarket (1m2f, good) in April; absent since, which strikes a note of caution, but he's a highly likeable prospect who could still be ahead of the handicapper; cheekpieces go back on (won in them last year).

9st 5lb

J: Hector Crouch

T: Henrietta C Knight

Won twice over about 1m4f (AW/good to firm) last spring and he's thrown in judged on that form; twice close up on AW in January and a respectable third at Bath (2m) in April, before Ascot 2m race last week proved too tough; there's a rethink on trip today and cheekpieces (last used in June 2024) return.

Three wins on turf (good/good to firm) at up to 11.5f; also went fairly close at this trip on AW in January; respectable third at Bath (2m1f, good to firm; Lusaka second) on return from two-month break last time; might build on that.

9st 6lb

J: Hollie Doyle

T: Henrietta C Knight

Triple turf winner who finished well to go close off this mark at Kempton (2m, AW) in January; flopped with a heavy defeat at Newcastle the following month but that was a Class 3 and has claims if he can bounce back after a short break; has form on good to firm and good to soft.

4 yo Gelding

Form & Verdict
Lightly raced 4yo who won a claimer in the US for this yard in January; mid-division in US Grade 2 in March on sole run for Todd Pletcher; absent since and it's hard to know what to expect, but he returns having been gelded and that may help unlock some of his potential; not ruled out.

Lightly raced since finishing second in this two years ago when 4lb higher; he may have needed his comeback run at Newbury in May but was well beaten and needs to be an entirely different proposition two months on.

Fairly consistent and is capable of being involved off current mark; however, lacks recent match practice (off since November) and hasn't won for over three years; not the percentage call.

Form & Verdict
2yo Listed winner in France in 2020 who was handed some tough Group-race assignments last year; reappeared with a handicap win at Kempton (1m3f, AW) in April but he's finished down the field back on turf (1m2f, good) the last twice and has plenty to prove here.

J: Rachael Blackmore

T: W P Mullins

Useful Flat performer who got his act together over hurdles when third (beaten roughly 2l) in the Grade 2 novice hurdle at Fairyhouse last month, form that received a timely form boost on Tuesday with Grade 1 success for Irancy; quite possibly more to come at this trip (half-brother's best form at 2m4f) and not one to put a line through.
