Unplaced in four runs for Julie Camacho this year and the addition of cheekpieces isn't enough to earn him the vote.

Won on debut for Charlie Appleby last May and he's one to watch in the betting off a reduced mark; however, he's struggled since that debut win, including in handicaps the last twice, and a major turnaround is needed.

Last of three at Newmarket (5f, soft) on debut appeared to be fair form, among the best in this line-up; however, he was well below that figure back at Newmarket (6f, good) 11 days later; return to 5f may help.

Group 1-class sprinter at his best but it's been a struggle this season since an encouraging start at Listed level and he now has his sights lowered for a first crack at a handicap; has a lot of weight and perhaps better at 6f than 5f.

Has an underwhelming strike-rate for a horse of his ability and losing spell goes back over two years; that said, has spent over half of his career in Group 1 races, best effort when third in the 2024 Commonwealth Cup; drops back in class after a heavy defeat at this year's Royal Ascot.

Rarely seen on a downhill track but ran a corking race in Group 3 over C&D as 2yo; often well below best in 2026 but intermittent flashes of form have lightened the gloom, including when a close fourth at Pontefract (5f, good to firm; first-time visor, retained) latest; on the risky side overall.

His mark continues to fall and there were promising signs at Newcastle (5f, AW) in June; however, two lesser runs have followed and he has to turn things around in a first-time visor (has worn cheekpieces/blinkers this term).

Sole win (ten races) was a 5f novice at Chester last July; has run creditably this winter on all three starts (7f/6f, Tapeta) since gelded but those results also suggest he will again prove vulnerable to an improver.

Doubled his tally on turf with big-field amateur riders' win at Doncaster (good to soft) in March and he scored again at Thirsk (also 1m, good to firm) in May; was better than ever with those wins but he's not threatened in his last three starts and he's still 5lb higher than for his last success; others are more persuasive.

Resurgent 5yo who has form figures of 11222 for his current yard and who has been knocking on the door at Windsor (5f) and Brighton (5.3f) in his last two starts; 3lb well in off the same mark as those last two runs and he has leading claims back in trip.

Comfortably won over C&D and at Wolverhampton on first two starts for Robert Cowell; back up another 7lb when creditable second at Catterick, which has been followed by a 3lb raise but 3lb-claiming rider is recruited; to win this may demand his best form since early 2024 but he's firmly in the mix.
