Form & Verdict
Fluffed the start on his reappearance at Brighton and his close second was meritorious in the circumstances; made no mistake at Nottingham four weeks ago (5f, good) and a 3lb rise is fine given last summer's best; first run at Goodwood but he's run well on undulating tracks before.

J: Hector Crouch

T: Hughie Morrison

Five wins at 5f-7f, all on good and quicker ground; weighted to go well on the pick of his 2024 form and, following a promising reappearance, perhaps refitting a tongue-tie didn't help at Windsor since; in contention.

Form & Verdict
Had some strong handicap form for Clive Cox last season and new connections paid a six-figure sum for him last October; far too free on his stable debut at Ascot last month but his Epsom sixth last week was much more like it, travelling strongly out wide but looking ill at ease on the track when coming under pressure; strike-rate slightly disconcerting for one of his ability but hard to believe his current mark isn't in range.

Kept fairly busy in the last 12 months and he supplemented a 6f Windsor (good) win in September by scoring over 7f at Yarmouth (good to soft) in October and at Chelmsford (AW) in December; respectable efforts on both starts last month and Oisin Murphy takes over for the first time.

Form & Verdict
Won the 7f handicap on this card 12 months ago (good to firm) off a 5lb higher mark; patchy record later on in 2023 and two runs this year have been mixed too, failing to build on his reappearance promise ten days later; good mark but he's not alone in that regard.

Well beaten on reappearance at Newcastle (6f, AW) 30 days ago and needs to be an entirely different proposition today; however, he's on a competitive mark on last season's best efforts and his C&D form figures read 123, with all three of those runs coming in cheekpieces (which go back on).

J: Neil Callan

Still consistent but hasn't won in three years and isn't as good now; just a fair comeback effort over 5f here 12 days ago in second-time cheekpieces (has often worn a visor) but won't mind going back up in trip now he's had a run.

Form & Verdict
Enjoyed a big payday when winning at Royal Ascot last summer (5f, good to firm) but he was unable to kick on from that success subsequently; slow start to his 4yo campaign too but he's run well the last twice, winning a 6f handicap (good to soft) at Doncaster nine days ago (blinkered for the first time); perhaps not entirely straightforward but he was strong at the finish at Doncaster and a 4lb rise isn't insurmountable; contender.

Form & Verdict
Looked promising early in his 3yo season, winning a Southwell novice and a Newmarket handicap (6f, good); yet to add to his tally but he ran well last spring and his Southwell reappearance six weeks ago, when racing wide and tiring late on, suggested there was still a good chunk of ability intact; should go well.

Won off way higher marks in the past and ran respectably to be third at Newmarket (6f, good to firm) last time; first-time visor joins his regular tongue-tie (usually wears cheekpieces) and he's down to a career-low mark; has run well here before and he's respected.

Made good progress last season and he looks an improved performer at four, winning 6f handicaps at Newmarket and Kempton the last twice; showed a fine attitude on the latter occasion and a 4lb rise is unlikely to prove beyond him; often front runs but showed he doesn't have to lead last time; strong contender.
