His two wins have come at 1m on turf (good to firm) and Tapeta; placed four times since his last success in November but he's lost his way at Doncaster (1m) and here (7f) in last two starts; now returns to much quicker ground but he needs to bounce back near his best.

Form & Verdict
Often a front-runner; failed to win last year but ran creditably on several occasions, including in the Spring Cup and Royal Hunt Cup; 2-2 on soft ground (unraced on heavy) and 2-3 over 1m (round course) at Doncaster; possibilities off a workable mark back here.

Effective over C&D and well handicapped on his 2023 form; however, following a mammoth absence this 7yo finished down the field on his three outings last month and others have less to prove.

Form & Verdict
In decent form judged on recent AW efforts; however, remains on career-high mark and looks vulnerable in this warm handicap back on grass; sole turf success came on fast ground.

Form & Verdict
Four attempts on slow ground include one success (for previous stable) and two close seconds, most recently posting a solid effort over 7f here (winner has boosted the form since) last September; strong chance off only 1lb higher, provided he takes well to first-time headgear; ran well over 1m once.
