13th Sep 2024 Good To Soft 1m 6f 44y Class 2 |
9st 7lb |
Front-runner who won this race in 2021, on his way to four Group wins including the Group 1 Goodwood Cup in 2023; the major concern is that his only subsequent run last year was disappointing and something has also been missing in his three races this term, but this is a step down in class and he should still be good enough. |

9st 5lb |
Front-runner who gave his rivals the slip in this race two years ago and the Group 1 Goodwood Cup in 2023; the major concern is that his only subsequent run last year was disappointing and so were his two races this term. |

9st 2lb |
Front-runner who was a Listed winner at York (1m6f, good to firm) last June and gave his rivals the slip to follow up in the Group 1 Goodwood Cup (2m, good to soft); his season ended with a lesser run, and his comeback was also disappointing, but this C&D winner has leading claims if back on song. |

21st Aug 2024 Good To Firm 1m 2f 56y Class 1 |
9st 8lb |
Record of 321 since wearing blinkers, most recently landing the Wolferton at Royal Ascot (1m2f Listed, good to firm) where he won well and looked better than ever; headgear retained; faces a stiffer task on first Group 1 attempt and owner's retained rider Jim Crowley prefers Alflaila. |

1st 9 (8) |
18th Jun 2024 Good To Firm 1m 1f 212y Class 1 |
9st 5lb |
Group 2 winner (1m4f) last term; beaten favourite in two runs in Britain with blinkers added this spring but he ran right up to his best when second to Passenger in 1m2f Chester Group 2 (good to firm; also acts on heavy) last time, with the pair well clear; solid chance. |

15th Jun 2024 Good 1m 5f 188y Class 1 |
8st 11lb |
Sole win was a four-runner AW handicap two years ago; runner-up in six of her 11 starts since (last nine were in Listed or Group events) and that includes four times by a neck or less, staying 1m6f and appearing to act on almost any going; can go well fresh but has a bit to find on form. |

2nd 2 (7) |
7th Nov 2023 Standard 1m 5f 0y Class 1 |
9st 5lb |
Ran flat in the Group 2 Park Hill at Doncaster (14.5f, soft) last time, but placed four times in Pattern company prior to that as when runner-up in a Chester Listed contest (1m6f, good to soft) on penultimate start; won a four-runner handicap here (1m4f) on only previous AW outing and looks the one to beat. |

14th Sep 2023 Good To Soft 1m 6f 115y Class 1 |
9st 7lb |
Creditable second over 1m6f at Leopardstown (Group 3) in July and Chester (Listed) this month; largely consistent but still has only one success on the board and faces a harder task upped to Group 2 level. |

18th May 2025 Good 1m 6f 0y Class 3 |
9st 9lb |
Dual Group 3 winner (2m/1m7f) for other yards in 2023; he didn't beat many last February-October and 1m4f for last month's reappearance (40-1) was too short; the latter was probably his most encouraging of five runs for current yard, however, and he's been dropped another 4lb since, which makes it 17lb below his peak mark; not ruled out. |

Dual Group 3 winner (2m/1m7f) for other yards in 2023; he didn't beat many last February-October, including in four races for current yard, and although he's not been sent to the Middle East to start this campaign and is now 13lb below his peak mark, this short a trip asks a big question. |

9st 5lb |
Beaten in this race for last two years (third in 2022, fourth in 2023); starts this campaign as a 9yo and his losing sequence is mounting up; although not disgraced in the Stockholm Cup International on last appearance, he's vulnerable against these younger rivals. |

5th Jun 2024 Good 1m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
The lack of any win since 2021 sees him down to his lowest mark since handicap debut in 2019; stacks of form from 2023 gives him a big chance in theory and he wasn't far away in February three starts ago; while hard to dismiss, it's also hard to make him the percentage call. |

11th May 2024 Good To Soft 1m 3f 211y Class 3 |
9st 0lb |
Now a stone below last winning mark; however, he's far from solid on 2024 AW form and losing spell goes back to 2021; by no means certain to take advantage of the drop in weights. |

20th Jul 2024 Good To Soft 1m 4f 0y Class 1 |
9st 6lb |
Losing spell goes back to her 2yo win but she couldn't have gone much closer to putting that right in Listed race at Pontefract (1m4f, good to firm) four weeks ago, going down by a nose (reopposing Divina Grace was third); claims if in similar form but she does have a bit of an in-and-out profile. |

23rd Jun 2024 Good 1m 4f 5y Class 1 |

Losing spell goes back to her 2yo win; respectable third in this race last year but has a question mark over current form; comfortably held in both outings this term. |
