Form & Verdict
Has not looked entirely straightforward but once visored he was a well-held second behind the Britannia winner at Ascot in May (1m, soft) and it was a good handicap he contested at Sandown won by the Cambridgeshire favourite Greek Order; off since May but should be going very close at this level.

J: Oisin Orr

T: Hugo Palmer

He has done well since dropped to sprint trips, winning two 6f handicaps on AW (one C&D) in January; career best when second over C&D in May and he ran another good race when second in the Gosforth Park Cup eight weeks ago; 1lb lower today and no obvious reason why he wouldn't go well again.

T: Hugo Palmer

Won twice over 6f on the AW in January, the latest of those off 9lb lower here; has run well the last twice, including when second of 14 back here (6f) last month, but this is a tough race in which to have his first go at 5f.

Form & Verdict
310,000gns yearling; massive shout on her third at Newmarket (7f, good) in April but not so clever in two soft-ground runs either side of that, as it wasn't strong form last time at Thirsk; still hard to knock at this level provided she's ready for business after a long time out.

310,000gns yearling; massive shout on her third at Newmarket (7f, good) in April and perhaps not suited by soft ground on her three other defeats, especially last time at Chester when conditions were really testing; considered.

J: Dylan Browne McMonagle

T: Ian Williams

Had three of these behind when winning this last year off 11lb lower (good to firm); looks even better now, probably not seen to best effect behind Sportingsilvermine at Newmarket before a sterling effort at Glorious Goodwood over an inadequate 1m2f; likes it here and he's hard to knock.

Runner-up in 2024 on his only appearance at this track; reliable sort who hit new heights over 1m4f on last three outings, so this drop back in trip asks a question but he needs respect.

Reliable and progressive on a variety of ground and courses, although has never raced at Newmarket; third in this race last year; hit new heights at Epsom (1m4f) on last two outings and makes each-way appeal.
