Form & Verdict
C&D winner early in the year (when 3lb lower) who's run well in a couple of recent turf starts after a break; the step up from 1m2f should suit into lesser company and he's one to consider.

J: David Probert

His last win was in September 2024 but he went close at Chelmsford (1m2f) in February and he ran respectably over C&D last time; usually comes from off the pace and could be dangerous if he gets the breaks.

Had C&D form before missing 2023; not quite back to his previous level but he took a late second to one on the middle leg of a three-timer, at Bath (1m6f) in June, and should be involved again; versatile tactically.

Scored on AW in 2021 and 2022; missed last year but he's not been beaten far in two runs on Polytrack (1m4f/2m) this spring after a long absence; still lightly raced on turf and he's not ruled out on this drop back in trip.

Landed a gamble on his comeback, when upped to this trip in blinkers having been gelded; came away with a progressive winner off his revised mark last time and holds leading claims.

J: Joe Williamson

Signed off for Gary and Josh Moore with clear second to very progressive rival at Fontwell (2m1f, good to soft) last month and has good claims if judged on that performance but he's far too inconsistent to rely upon, and was tailed off on the Flat for new stable this month; headgear switched.

J: Caoilin Quinn

T: Gary & Josh Moore

Last month's C&D fifth (16l ahead of Ray's The One, but beaten 16l himself) represented only a partial return to form; unconvincing on balance, for all a mark 4lb below his last winning one makes appeal.

Form & Verdict
Goes well for John Egan and is better than his latest Epsom effort, when setting off hard in front and well behind Myriad; no certainty he'll be able to get his own way into today's smaller field either though.

Front-runner; gained back-to-back wins in the middle of 2022 and 2024 and has done so again this year following recent victories at Chepstow (1m4f, good) and Windsor (good); the hat-trick has just eluded him so far, but hard to rule out in his current form.

Front-runner; it's eyecatching that he's won over this trip in his only two handicap starts at Windsor (2022 and August 2024); last year's was middle leg of a hat-trick (following a long break) on wide range of ground and he reappeared with a Chepstow win four weeks ago; up 6lb to career-high mark but did it well and looks sure to have a big shout.

0-15 under both codes but has run with credit in two of three starts since joining this yard, as when fifth of 13 at Kempton (1m3f, Polytrack) last month (eased prematurely); drops in grade and frame material if coping with this shorter trip.
