Overall profile is solid and he wasn't seen to best effect last time at Ascot (1m, good to firm) when held up off steady fractions; this mark shouldn't be beyond him.

Largely progressive at two and three; however, hasn't done quite so well this year and his July success (7f, soft) came in a lower grade, sharing the spoils; balance of 2023 form suggests he'll come up well short.

Has done a lot of his racing at 1m but dropping back to 7f was no issue when dead-heating on soft ground at Doncaster two starts back (second run in cheekpieces); fine under these conditions and remains on a workable mark if able to bounce back from a poor one at Chepstow.

Form & Verdict
Has won two of his three starts since moving up to 7f; on the back foot with a slow start at Newmarket a month ago but the leaders went off too fast and he picked them off late on; only 3lb higher but he'd probably prefer the ground good or faster.

Seemingly back in good form when second at Nottingham (8.3f, soft) in May but has quickly gone off the boil again since; on a very good mark now but needs combination of refitted cheekpieces and first-time tongue-tie to give him a shove forward.

Dual course winner who scored twice at Wolverhampton (7f/8.6f) in March; only 1lb higher than for his last win and he's had excuses with traffic issues and a slow start in last two runs; should get a good tow into this race and has possibilities if he gets the breaks; cheekpieces reapplied.

Bolted up in last season's Victoria Cup over this C&D (soft) but went missing for 470 days afterwards; out of the frame in both starts since returning (the latest back here) but this race was immediately nominated after his latest outing; likely to have his conditions and should go well.

Well suited by drop to 7f in spring 2023, winning two races including soft-ground Victoria Cup here by 4l; subsequently absent until Goodwood two weeks ago when showing clear signs of retaining ability while seeming to need the run; interesting with that reappearance under his belt.
