Form & Verdict
Impressive over C&D in May and he produced a very smart performance to win the Gosforth Park Cup at Newcastle in June (5f); didn't fire in a Listed event on turf the following month but returning to AW should help and he could well have a bigger effort in him.

Form & Verdict
Now 2lb lower than for his Southwell win in February (5f); expensive to follow since then but he wasn't beaten far at Goodwood when last seen and Harry Davies takes off a valuable 3lb; has form over 6f but all three wins have come over shorter.

Four-time turf winner who won off today's mark at Newcastle (5f, AW) in February; however, he's finished down the field on his last four starts and a major turnaround is necessary.

Form & Verdict
Comes right into the reckoning on his front-running third of ten behind Dubai Station over C&D in May; not so good on turf since but he's down in the weights and is well drawn to attack; not ruled out.

T: P Charalambous & J Clutterbuck

Admirable campaigner down the years and although he hasn't placed in three visits to York, he has been poorly drawn in two of them and ran well in Listed company on the other occasion; looked to retain ability when third at Newmarket (6f, good to firm) on 2000 Guineas day and he shouldn't be crabbed for his Wokingham effort as he trounced the only other rival to race up the stands' rail; it has been a long time since he's had a mark this low; big run on the cards.

Reliable and useful performer on AW, running his best race of the year when a close fourth over C&D in July; should give his running but others are more persuasive for win purposes.

Back on the same mark as when seeing off nine rivals over C&D in May (good Topspeed figure) and his latest Ascot third (5f) was a step back in the right direction; not sure to be in the same form here but he will be a danger to all if he is.

The winner of three of his eight runs for the Gosdens, notably a C&D handicap in July when he was very strong in the final furlong; disappointing in a Shergar Cup race on his debut for Stuart Williams (lost a shoe) but he's better than that; usual cheekpieces now replaced by a hood and tongue-tie.

Drew a blank in 2025 but he has slipped a long way in the weights; absent since a poor run at Newcastle (7f) in February; headgear absent for his return and dropping back to 6f isn't sure to suit.

Too headstrong in a clear lead at Southwell (7f) last time, so did fairly well to be beaten only 2l in the end; gained last win off 10lb higher at Newcastle in August 2024; fighting chance provided he settles.

Smart performer on AW and has a C&D record of 1142; he wasn't at his best in three runs in the first part of 2022 but he is back to a handy mark and can go well fresh; no surprise to see better today.
