Form & Verdict
Record is 2-4 and he gained both wins at Epsom, latest in a nursery (7f, good; made all) two weeks ago; seems likely to handle the Goodwood gradients just as well and, with William Buick booked, this Johnston colt should make a bold bid to defy 6lb rise.

No turf win since 2022 but he has won three AW handicaps in the last 14 months; should be well treated but recent efforts haven't been his best; this is a drop in class so not dismissed, even though the return of cheekpieces wouldn't be an obvious plus based on previous usage.

Not won on turf since his 2yo days but it was a fairly close third at Musselburgh (7f, good) in April; now 4lb lower after four lesser runs; handicapping case can be made but percentage call is to oppose.

Form & Verdict
Progressive form figures (321) in 7f contests, bumping into a very good rival on second occasion; justified favouritism at Newcastle (AW) latest and, while he was all out with little to spare, may build on that success; open to further improvement now handicapping.

Below par at Newcastle last November when last seen (had won there in July); however, two starts ago he was second of five behind a fast-improving rival in a handicap at Goodwood (7f, good to soft), and he also ran well on soft ground on his debut; not ruled out if back on song.

Promise in his first two starts before getting off the mark with a game C&D success in July; solid second on his nursery debut at Goodwod last month; still has time to do better and returning to a stiffer track could help.

Form & Verdict
Justified favouritism at Windsor (6f, good to firm) on second start, beating Chartwell House by a neck; creditable fifth in Doncaster sales race (6.5f, good to soft) latest and that form has been well advertised since; looks likely to stay 7f and, judged on latest effort, opening mark of 87 looks very workable; respected.

Four wins from 37 starts, the most recent at Chelmsford (7f, AW) in December; got behind early at Southwell last time after short of room leaving the stalls but then kept on into seventh; each-way contender with refitted cheekpieces replacing regular hood.

Seen much more often on turf than the AW but he did win on sand at Chelmsford (7f) last December and has since shown useful course form over 6f and 7f; down the field at Doncaster most recently but would have a squeak if back to his C&D form in March.

J: Sean Levey

T: Stuart Williams

Kept fairly busy in the last 12 months and he supplemented a 6f Windsor win (good) in September by scoring over 7f at Yarmouth (good to soft) in October and at Chelmsford (AW) in December; has held his form with some solid efforts this spring and he could make a serious impact if this sets up for his closing style.

Form & Verdict
Took well to first-time hood in Epsom maiden (7f, good) in August, opening his account at the fourth attempt, but proved disappointing in same headgear at Chelmsford (AW) last time; switch to visor may suit and interestingly he's 3lb better off with Eminency on Windsor running in July; possibilities on nursery debut.

Often leads; useful 7f form at Haydock in the summer, winning then chasing home an improver (both on good to firm); failed to stay 1m next time but he wasn't himself at Epsom since (course winner as 2yo); down the list this time.

Form & Verdict
Has form figures of 1121489 since wearing a visor, so it started very well before tailing off (failed to beat a rival the last twice); with that in mind he could revive now switched to blinkers; however, having raced nine times in total, he looks more exposed than these rivals.
