Form & Verdict
Won on good to firm on final 3yo start, given wind and gelding operations afterwards; won at Kempton (1m4f, AW) in May; got going much too late at York (1m4f, good; unraced on softer) two weeks later but had the widest draw and his close third of 15 was promising for today's step up in trip.

J: Richard Kingscote

Excellent second in 1m4f handicap at Newmarket in May, after last season's best form had been at about 1m6f; ran poorly in last year's Ebor at York and a good deal worse in Listed race there this June, but the wind surgery soon afterwards might have turned him around; not totally dismissed.

Well-beaten third favourite in the Ebor at York last August but ran well up to 14.5f in his other four races last term, winning twice, and reappeared with excellent second in 1m4f handicap at Newmarket six weeks ago; no ground worries and stepping back up in trip can help; looks set for a big run.

Form & Verdict
Well beaten sole start on worse than good to soft; has had different trainers as 2yo, 3yo and now 4yo; failed to shine this year at Meydan (four runs) or back in Britain (three); latest start was the Northumberland Plate, for which he was 100-1, and he did finisher closer, so he's not entirely dismissed off a career-low mark, particularly if the money's come for him.

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.

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.

Ex-Andre Fabre; no impact in Dubai for new yard but, having been gelded, he took a step back in the right direction when never-nearer third of eight in a strong handicap at Goodwood (1m6f, good to firm; acts on soft) seven weeks ago; hooded there but not today; major player if he builds on that.

One of his three wins for Roger Varian was at this track; changed hands for 55,000gns in October 2021 and not seen again until six weeks ago but that was a big run when beaten a neck at Doncaster (1m4f) and return to this trip may well suit; back up 3lb but big shout if that latest form is repeated.

Not proven on softer than good; four wins over 1m4f-1m6f on turf/AW last year and good third at Goodwood (1m6f) on second start this season, running on well behind Crescent Lake; competitive on that and 1m4f (his other two starts this term) may be insufficient for him nowadays; seriously considered.
