Won three times (5f/6f) on the AW last autumn/winter and he's equally good on turf; however, he's not known for his reliability and his last two efforts have been poor ones; bit to prove after an absence.

Form & Verdict
All four of his wins have come over 5f on turf; he has run very well on AW this winter, including here over 6f on his last two starts, bumping into a smart winner last week; had no excuses there, though, and the way he's been racing does suggest this sharp 5f might just catch him out.

Has a stunning record at this meeting, winning four of his five attempts, including this race for the last three years (soft, good and good to soft); well held of late but he ran no worse last time out than he had in his prep race before the 2023 win and he's weighted to have a big chance despite being 3lb wrong; Hollie Doyle rode for his 2021 win; drying ground could be the sticking point, however.

Hugely talented but he hasn't won as often as one of his ability should; looks to retain a good chunk of his ability for his new yard but he will probably need a pace collapse if he is to end his drought here.

Two wins this season, the latter from the front over C&D (good to soft) in May; also suited by good to firm ground and last month's down-the-field finish here can be excused (stumbled leaving stalls) but others in this line-up look better handicapped; finished last of 13 in first-time visor here yesterday.

Resurgent 8yo who handles most ground and has form figures of 231212 since the end of March; put in a dominant display (good to soft) in May and was just nabbed last time (also C&D, good to firm) in June; up another 1lb but remains well handicapped on old form and he's a big player back from a two-month break.
