11st 12lb |
Rated a lowly 92 when joining the champion trainer last year and now rated 110 after winning two of his five starts for him; however, his form has been erratic and he will need to raise his game in order to win a beginners' event of this standard. |

9st 11lb |
Held up; a superb 2024 included wins in the Chester Plate, this race and the Cesarewitch at Newmarket; 2025 campaign was initially promising then frustrating, including with trouble in running, but ended up being disappointing; he's back to his last winning mark, but that's having been always behind at 40-1 in the Chester Cup last time; he will surely spark again at some point but it's hard to know exactly when. |

Held up; an excellent 2024 included wins in the Chester Plate on this card (his only run here) and the Cesarewitch at Newmarket; 2025 campaign was initially promising then frustrating, including with trouble in running, but ended up being disappointing; has a recent 1m2f run under his belt and would be competitive off this slightly reduced mark if back on song. |

Still not convinced he's too accommodatingly handicapped despite a further 1lb drop, but last month's Uttoxeter third (2m, soft) represented a good step up on his British debut effort, and all other place finishes (in Ireland) were gained over right-handers about as sharp as this track. |
