Form & Verdict
Has been dropped to sprinting the last twice, running well over 6f at Newmarket then below-par favourite over 5f at Nottingham; gelded since and now goes back up to 7f with hood fitted; well held in the Jersey on last attempt at this trip but faces an easier task in this handicap.

Group 1 Lockinge winner in 2024 but on a 12-race losing sequence and he ran badly on his last three starts in Dubai early this year; this is a drop in grade but he's proving increasingly hard to predict.

Smart over 7f/1m on his day; runner-up in this contest in 2023 and won the Lockinge and the Lennox last year; not in the same form since and the switch to blinkers (retained) had no effect last time; the need for a revival continues.

Unsuited by the return to slow ground last time; has a progressive record otherwise since being sent beyond sprint trips, including form figures of 411 over 7f, the wins gained at Newmarket (ran well over 1m in hat-trick attempt); may still have more to offer.

2-3 last year, the wins gained at Salisbury (good/soft); mixed results this season but ran creditably, following a gelding operation, in the Britannia when last seen (finished ninth of 30); not dismissed, especially if the market signals are positive on return from four-month break.

Form & Verdict
This first season can be split into two halves, the first half very promising (3-3) and the second half rather disappointing; however, softish ground was a possible excuse at Ascot most recently; now returns to the scene of his debut win and has possibilities if back in top form.

Form & Verdict
Raced mainly at sprint distances; recent 6f efforts suggest she's worth another crack at 7f and it is not forgotten that she bagged Group 3 honours as a 2yo, making current mark look very handy; however, she's now out of the winning habit (0-9 this term).

Returned in July from ten months off and has run well in his last three starts, third of nine at Sandown (7f, soft) last time, but he has managed to win only one of his last 25 starts and is still 5lb higher; addition of a tongue-tie needs to make a difference.

Shaped well on reappearance (found trouble) and bang there in his subsequent races, over 1m at Newmarket and C&D 13 days ago (first-time cheekpieces); hard to offer any excuses on either occasion and, now 3-31, he's looking a hard horse to catch right.
