Form & Verdict
Justified favouritism on his debut in a Wolverhampton novice (8.6f, Tapeta) last November and similar form when third of 13 under his penalty here (1m; 10-11) the following month; makes his handicap debut after four months off, but likely to appreciate the longer trip on breeding and respected for last year's winning stable.

Won at Kempton (1m4f, AW) in April; 6-1, good sixth of 19 in handicap at Royal Ascot (1m4f, good) on turf debut, racing in sixth or seventh before challenging over 2f out in a very strongly run race; failure to improve on that when second favourite at Newmarket last month came in a hot 1m2f race on good to firm, so this is a different test, but he now has a bit to find.

Scooted clear in a handicap at Kempton (1m4f, AW) in April, in just a four-runner race but useful form; 6-1, good sixth of 19 in handicap at Royal Ascot (1m4f, good) on turf debut, racing in sixth or seventh before challenging over 2f out in a very strongly run race; lightly raced and well related, he still has significant potential.

J: William Buick

Won the first of two AW novice races late last year; favourite, big step forward when scooting clear in a handicap at Kempton (1m4f, AW) in April, in just a four-runner race but the other three (headed by Maasai Mara) have bolstered the form; late foal with a smart pedigree, so lots of potential.

Form & Verdict
Fair form in three maidens over 7f/1m on turf/Tapeta last year, but having been gelded and fitted with blinkers he showed improvement when returning to win a five-runner novice here (1m3f) last month; probably even more to come from him now handicapping and a major player.

Ran big race in defeat over C&D (good to firm) in May and is still well handicapped but ought to have been suited by the soft ground when soundly beaten at Goodwood (1m6f) in June and has become far too inconsistent to rely upon.

J: William Carson

Regressed over hurdles last year but there was some encouragement with a hood deployed when fourth of seven at Wolverhampton (1m4f, AW) on his Flat return last month; blinkers (retained) were back on when a pace bias and wide draw did for him at Chester three weeks ago; not entirely ruled out.

Form & Verdict
Hinted at ability in three starts over 7f-8.6f on turf/AW last autumn, but improved to comfortably make a successful handicap debut after 131 days off in a four-runner contest at Chelmsford (1m2f, Polytrack) last month; extra 2f shouldn't be a problem on breeding, but he will need to progress again to defy a 7lb higher mark.

Form & Verdict
Improved plenty when switched to nurseries last autumn, winning here (1m) and narrowly defying an 8lb rise at Windsor (1m2f, good); gelded since and should stay the longer trip, but he will need to hit the ground running to defy another 5lb rise after 196 days off.
