0-2 on turf but she's 6-6 on the AW and has won three in a row this winter, including a Listed race at Lingfield (1m, Polytrack) last time; found more progress with that comfortable success and she's a big player again on this drop back in trip.

Form & Verdict
Dual AW winner (Polytrack/Tapeta) in handicap company his younger days but has improved plenty since then, ending a lengthy losing run in a Group 2 at York (1m2f, good to firm) last July and finishing third of nine behind Baeed and Mishriff in the Group 1 Juddmonte International over the same C&D the following month; not seen since, but is proven fresh and should have the race run to suit.

Good C&D record includes a win in this last year off 5lb higher; back on form when narrowly denied at Sandown (1m2f, good to firm) and things went wrong from the start (stumbled) when well behind Westridge at Goodwood since; could bounce back.

Has a mixed 1-6 record at Goodwood, with the win in 2019, but he won a 17-runner race at the York Ebor meeting last August and went down by a neck at Sandown this month, both over 1m2f on good to firm but the ground was not an issue previously; now a 9yo but 4lb lower than for that York win; drawn wide but likely to be delivered late anyway.

Resilient 9yo who can still give it plenty in competitive handicaps, as when beating 16 rivals at York (about 1m2f, good to firm; off 5lb higher) last August; however, he has less obvious claims on subsequent handicap runs, including back at York in June.

Form & Verdict
5-15 on the AW and again proved how effective he can be if allowed to dominate when making all in a handicap at Southwell (7f, Tapeta) nine days ago; has won over 7f here, but this will be his first attempt at 1m so even if getting his own way much will depend on whether his stamina holds out.

Form & Verdict
Lightly raced for a 7yo and has a good strike-rate (8-19), while his turf hat-trick over this trip last summer included two wins at Group 3 level; not seen in 112 days, but his record after an absence of 100 days or more reads 1411; 2-5 on the AW, but he only has experience of Tapeta and this will be the first time he has raced on Polytrack.

Often front-runs; Lingfield AW in February ended his losing run and he was 33-1 when well held there in a Class 2 latest outing (rare start with this visor, instead of usual blinkers); second at Epsom last August showed some turf ability remained, but he's 2lb higher today and not the percentage call.

Proven at this level having won another Listed contest at Wolverhampton (7f, Tapeta) in March 2021 and he made it 2-2 at that track when successful over 6f in December; lightly raced over this far, but seemed to stay when runner-up (albeit 5l behind the winner) in the AW Championship Final over C&D just under two years ago; considered.

He had dropped a long way in the weights prior to his fine third at York's Dante meeting and he confirmed his wellbeing when seeing off 20 rivals back at York two weeks later (7f, good); ran poorly when an odds-on favourite at Chepstow one week later; fully effective over C&D; can't be dismissed.
