9st 5lb |
Last two wins came over an extended 2m4f at Goodwood and he may still need this given he was returning from over a year off when well beaten at Newmarket last time; yard could hardly be in better form, though. |

20th Sep 2025 Good 2m 2f 0y Class 2 |
9st 12lb |
Well beaten in this race three years ago and then went missing for 640 days; confined to four races in 2024, easily the best of them his defeat of 17 rivals over 2m4f at Glorious Goodwood (4lb lower); fully entitled to need this after another long absence. |

Well treated on best turf form but it's a long time since his last win; inconsistent results for current yard and latest defeat took his AW record to 0-10. |

9yo whose last three wins have been on AW, over C&D on first occasion; third at Glorious Goodwood (2m4f) in July was up with his best form, as was his Newcastle second on AW next time, and he can probably be forgiven his Cesarewitch run on latest outing; on the premises if so. |

27th May 2023 Good To Firm 2m 0f 45y Class 2 |
9st 13lb |
Better than ever for Ian Williams last year and he runs off his last winning mark; made his stable and seasonal debut at Chester a fortnight ago and has never run well there, but he was tailed off and there is a big question mark regarding his current form. |

Had a fine summer last season in final campaign for Ian Williams; ran well in 2018 on soft and heavy but peak efforts have been when the ground is less testing; stays very well but he has not shone in his four visits to Chester, including last two editions of this race. |

Second, first and third in the last three Chester Cups; he didn't quite reproduce that form in the 2023 or 2024 campaigns, however, and tailed off at Royal Ascot on first attempt this season; comfortably held in fourth in this race last year; this does not look the time to catch him. |

Often front-runner; one of his big days came over C&D in 2018 when winning the Northumberland Plate; not in the same form these days as a 10yo and although he's still been competitive on three of his last four starts this winter, those were with falling marks in handicaps; more to do today. |
