Form & Verdict
Improved as a 4yo, winning a Listed race at Windsor and a conditions event over C&D; cheekpieces then added and he ended 2022 with two fine runs, fourth behind Rohaan in a Group 3 and then chasing home Kinross in a Group 1 in October (good to soft); looked rusty at Haydock on his reappearance two weeks ago and should leave that behind; strong claims.

Capable of smart form, such as placed efforts in two July Cups, but is getting long in the tooth and seems unlikely to break his Abernant duck at the fourth attempt (record in this race reads 404); losing spell goes back almost three years.

Has run well at long odds in several Group 1s, including when second in this race in 2022 (150-1) and when third to No Half Measures in this year's July Cup (40-1), but he was never a threat in the Sprint Cup six weeks ago and his overall record is none too consistent.

Runner-up in the July Cup at Newmarket (6f, good to soft) in 2023 and, having been lightly raced since, he was a 2l third of 14 to No Half Measures in that same Group 1 two months ago (good to firm); each-way claims if reproducing that form but his profile indicates it's far from guaranteed.

Form & Verdict
Course winner (7f) as a 2yo; won the Group 2 Vintage Stakes at Goodwood last summer before coming up short twice in Group 1 company; raced away from the principals when fourth in an Ascot Group 3 on his reappearance 24 days ago (6f, good) and that run suggested he retained all his ability; still has time to do better.

Form & Verdict
Smart on his day, winning the 2019 Stewards' Cup and adding a Newmarket Group 3 and a Goodwood Group 2 to his tally last season (both 5f); didn't make much of an impact in Dubai earlier in the year and this stiff 6f perhaps not optimal.

10yo who is very hard to fancy on what he's produced on his last three starts, down the field in the Temple Stakes at Haydock four weeks ago; however, he showed considerable spark as recently as last October, with a Grade 2 win in the US, and he won this race in 2023 (at 80-1) and 2024 (14-1); didn't run in it last year; certainly not written off today.

Best on good or quicker; his trainer has done so well to keep him to such a high level over the years and he's 2-2 here (including this race in 2022) as well as winning two Group 1s at Royal Ascot, the latest only last June; however, yesterday's rain won't have been welcomed.

Top-class effort to win the Wokingham as a 3yo and he produced another superb run to win the race last year; penalised for his Group 3 win at Ascot in October; no doubt he has the class to give weight all round but he is best produced late off a strong pace and this race may not play to his strengths.
