0-7 but placed four times including when a close second of 12 at Lingfield (7f, AW) this month; 2lb rise is not the end of the world but he would have something to prove under the likely conditions (unraced on ground faster than good).

J: Trevor Whelan

T: George Baker

Has been well beaten first time out in each of his three seasons, so it may be best to forgive last month's Kempton reappearance (1m, AW); won over C&D as a 2yo and back off the same mark as when winning at Goodwood (1m, good to firm) last summer; drying ground in his favour and respected for stable that won this with Mamillius in 2019 and 2022.

Form & Verdict
Something to prove after his poor return from 190 days off at Doncaster (7f, soft; has won twice on testing ground) ) last month, but his record here reads 131311 and he is back off the same mark as when winning this race last year; tongue-tie now given a go and, if leaving that latest effort behind, his chance is there for all to see.

Off since September but he's proven when fresh having won at Epsom (7f, good) off 1lb higher on his reappearance last July; has won here four times from nine starts, including this race in 2022 off 3lb higher and he holds sound claims on his return.

Didn't show much here on his reappearance (6f, good to firm) this month, but his last three wins have come here and he is 1lb lower than when narrowly successful over C&D just over a year ago; this trip looks right on the edge of his stamina, though.

All three wins on AW and he's back off the same mark as for the latest at Chelmsford (7f) in March; placed in two of his four starts on turf, but over shorter trips so he does have something to prove on first visit here.

Yet to win on turf (0-7), with all three wins coming on the AW (5f-7f; Chelmsford and Wolverhampton); has worn blinkers for his last three starts, including when simply doing too much too soon at Ayr (7f, good; sixth of eight) last time; this sharp track may suit and he is well drawn to attack.
