Form & Verdict
Came good in the second half of 2021 when his three wins included a demolition job in this race under Paul Hanagan; below par in his two runs this year but he gave the impression he needed his reappearance and then faced a stern assignment in the King's Stand; no surprise if he surges back to form and takes the Bullet once more.

5f specialist who had his career highlight when second in last year's King's Stand at Ascot; unplaced last three starts but he met trouble when sixth of ten in handicap on the same course on latest; may again need luck threading his way through the field but he's a viable contender on form.

1-1 over C&D; two good efforts since returning from latest seven-month absence but ran moderately when twelfth of 14 at York last time; 11l margin of defeat does him some disservice though (squeezed out then eased) and this drop in grade can help him bounce back; easiest task on turf for years; interesting.

Well beaten at Doncaster on his return but he wasn't well drawn and has a modest record fresh; stepping up to 7f will give him more time to claw back the ground he's likely to forfeit at the start; on a dangerous mark and he's a lively outsider, for all his losing run stretches back to October 2023.

Close call in a Group 3 here in 2022 and deserves so much better than his very modest turf strike-rate, given how many fine races he continues to run in defeat, such as when going down narrowly to both Rosario and Regal Envoy on different 5f runs (good and good to firm) last May; some cold comfort that he won on AW in January but tough to support for the win.
