He has dropped in the weights and found only an unexposed one too strong over C&D a fortnight ago; back up in class today but he still makes some appeal; yard also run Mitrosonfire.

Successful in three consecutive starts here (7f/1m) between November 2022 and last December, but not so good in three runs back here at the start of 2024; has too much to prove on his return from seven months off.

Only two of his 28 starts have come over 7f, a Newmarket win in August and a C&D second four weeks ago; possible there is more to come and he has each-way claims once more.

On a long losing run but he's well handicapped on last year's best efforts and was beaten just a neck at Leicester (7f, soft) last time on his second start back from a break; has won twice here (6f/7f, good to firm) and it's a course that often brings out the best in him; firmly in calculations.

Eight-time course winner; better than ever when beating a useful rival in a 6f handicap here in April; unplaced on turf on his last three starts but he is now back down to his last winning mark and the return to this track is an obvious positive.

Progressive 3yo who took another step forward when winning at Doncaster on her reappearance in April (7f, good to firm); ran perfectly well at Royal Ascot (didn't appear to stay 1m) but her two runs since have been underwhelming; switching to AW needs to revive her fortunes.
