Ran respectably in similar event at York when last seen, while taking turf record to 0-12; strike-rate of 5-9 on AW includes 6f wins on finals day in 2021/2023; only a neck behind Annaf in this contest 12 months ago and now gets 5lb pull with that rival; Ryan Moore up for first time; big player back in this sphere.

Made all to win the corresponding race 12 months ago; 2-2 on AW this year and he has performed with credit in Group 3/2 company on turf on his last two starts; should be in the thick of it again.

Good strike-rate on AW includes a Listed sprint double at Lingfield this year; has lots of good form on turf, including very close third in this race two years ago and respectable fourth in Newmarket Group 3 last time; still a maiden (0-19) in this sphere, however.

Having edged down the weights he offered a good deal more when third to Tuco Salamanca at Newcastle (6f, AW) in June; finished with a flourish when seventh behind Dubai Bling at Ascot (5f, good to firm) three weeks ago, a run that confirmed he was still in good order; returning to 6f will help and he can't be dismissed, for all that he has been well beaten in this race twice before (2022 and 2025).

Overcame a wide trip to win similar event over C&D when last seen 11 weeks ago, following up his Kempton handicap success and taking overall record to 4-10; incurs 3lb penalty but looks open to further progress; 2-2 under Oisin Murphy; has to be feared.

Very useful 6f AW scorer at his best; not so good nowadays but signed off for James Fanshawe with a fair third of six in 7f Wolverhampton handicap in April; more is required for new stable on a rare turf start.

Form & Verdict
Has a record of 4-8 on AW and 2-2 under David Egan, the two wins for this rider gained in useful handicaps at this course (7f) and Newcastle (6f; career-best performance) towards the end of 2023; unsuited by steady pace when held in hat-trick attempt; dual Listed scorer who has a leading chance at the weights.

Top-of-the-trees in the best sprint handicaps down the years, winning the Stewards' Cup in 2020 and the Gold Cup in 2022; failed to beat a rival here 12 months ago but the weight has fallen off his back since and his run at the Curragh last week was encouraging; could well have a decent crack at this; refitted cheekpieces replace regular visor.

Form & Verdict
Raced only over 6f; absent since struggling in the Commonwealth Cup at Royal Ascot; progressive otherwise, mostly on AW, and good effort at Newcastle on finals day 2023 took his form figures in this sphere to 2213153; may rate higher still and looks interesting on reappearance.

Interesting on the pick of his form and he's on the same mark as when second in a better race at Doncaster last October (6f, soft); two modest efforts for his new yard this year but this is less taxing than the Stewards' Cup last time.
