High class at 5f when ground is good or quicker, as when second of 13 in a Haydock Group 2 in May and fifth (for the second year running) in the Group 1 King's Stand at Ascot; losing run in Britain goes back to 2019 but intriguing to see what he can do in his first British handicap.

Listed 2yo winner at this meeting (5f); latest turf win was 12 months ago but a strong-finishing effort over 5f here in May suggests this intermediate trip will suit and he did well to be third of 12 on good to soft at Goodwood last time considering quicker ground suits best.

Yet to run a moderate race on this course, some sterling efforts including a fourth in this race in 2019 and a close fifth 12 months ago (both on good) when he didn't have much room when trying for a run; 5lb lower this time and his reliability here makes him of interest.

OR: 90

Form & Verdict
Made most to win this race last year (good); well held in 2023, including when coasting home once his chance had gone at Ascot latest (blinkers refitted; cheekpieces today); however, 3lb lower than 12 months ago and trainer has pulled bigger rabbits out of the hat (won three of the last ten runnings).

8yo who was inconsistent last season and lacks a recent run; however, he's just 1lb higher than when both second of 13 over C&D (good) last May and winning at Hamilton (5f, good to soft) next time; not ruled out each-way.

Not far off his best this year and won at Hamilton (5f, good to soft) in June, but he's been in and out since and was well held in the Ayr Gold Cup; this C&D winner could be revived but he doesn't have the potential of some of these.

Fine servant who was winning for the eighth time when successful in a 5f handicap at Hamilton in June; good third back at Hamilton in July but not at quite the same level on his last two starts; this will be his fifth attempt in one of the Cups here though and last season's Silver Cup third was his best result; stable has stronger claims elsewhere.

Form & Verdict
Not ideally drawn here last August and has knocked on some handicap doors since, but it's debatable whether he's well enough treated to win at this level; lesser effort at Sandown on Sunday and again without regular tongue-tie.

Form & Verdict
Front-runs; useful at 5f and 6f on AW but losing turf run goes back more than two years and he's not yet recaptured best form since back in February from a layoff; wore cheekpieces latest, now discarded; will do well to revive in this company even though the handicapper is giving him a chance.

Sole handicap win for previous yard came over 7f; encouraging start for this one on AW but turf defeats since need explaining, especially a heavy one at Windsor in July latest (6f, good to firm; tongue-tie added, as today).

Given a very cool ride when coming from a long way back to beat his 17 rivals here in May (5f, good to firm); not seen to best advantage in his three runs since, never looking happy when well beaten at Newmarket 25 days ago, but not ruled out back on a more conventional track.

All wins at 5f, one of them here at last year's Dante meeting, and he's on the same mark as when making a successful return at Yarmouth in April (5f, good to firm); best produced late off a strong pace at 5f though and his 6f form is unconvincing.
