Two wins at Goodwood last autumn and admirably consistent in defeat this season, going close in a big field over C&D (good) then finishing fifth in the Royal Hunt Cup at Royal Ascot (1m, good to firm; second of 20 in group); there is every chance that he will be bang there.

Completed a Goodwood double during his 2025 campaign; good second in notable handicap at the York Dante festival (1m, good) most recently, going down by only a neck; he's paying the price for his consistency, however, with the assessor failing to relent.

Placed on first two starts of the season (6f, good) and another big performance when 3l fourth of 20 at York (6f, good) last time, which was his third quick run in succession in May; can go well for bang-in-form yard.

Stays 1m and two of his three wins came over 7f but a good test over this trip is fine; at his best last year around this time and resumed with a solid effort as favourite at Chester nine days ago (behind The Good Biscuit); will rightly be popular.

Improved to finish a close fourth of nine on her third start at Hamilton (6f, good) in June, but took a step backwards when third of four on nursery debut there (5f, good to soft) last month; closely related to a Polytrack winner so still worth a second look on AW debut.

Small-field 6f affair not ideal last time and this is a bit easier back in the visor for the first time this season; last summer's easy Epsom win off 4lb lower (made all) showed he's at home round switchback tracks and he's one to consider.
