Won over 2m here last March but nothing in two runs this season and there are stamina doubts; the return of a hood (fitted for that win) could help.

Three AW wins, the most recent off 7lb higher over C&D in August 2024; inconsistent since but is attractively treated and Jack Callan takes off a bonus 5lb; good chance if back to form.

J: Liam Wright

T: Hugo Palmer

Prominent racer who won three times on AW last year and first two were over C&D; flopped with a heavy defeat at Newcastle in February but he finished a close third here (2m) on his penultimate run and is a big player if he can recapture that form; in the mix back from a break.

Form & Verdict
200,000gns yearling; didn't show much in his first three runs but he looked a different proposition on handicap debut when scoring at Windsor (11.4f, good to firm) 16 days ago; up 10lb but he stayed on strongly to surge clear last time and is open to more progress on his step up to this trip; leading contender.

Progressive in 2023 and 2024, nearly winning last season's Cesarewitch on soft ground; fast ground and a dodgy draw were feasible excuses for his last two defeats; C&D winner and still on a competitive mark.

9st 2lb

J: Daniel Muscutt

T: Simon & Ed Crisford

His march through the staying ranks included going mighty close in the Cesarewitch (2m2f) last October and winning at Goodwood (2m) last month; perhaps good to firm ground helps to explain a lesser show at Royal Ascot (2m4f) 11 days ago; acts on Tapeta but drawn widest and needs to resume progress.

Form & Verdict
Went close on his handicap debut at Chelmsford (1m5f, AW) in April but that was in a small field and he's struggled in four subsequent runs; had a daunting task in the Queen's Vase at Royal Ascot last time but he still has plenty to prove back in a handicap.

One win in 18 starts came in a four-runner hurdle in November and form of that race is decidedly shaky; poor under both codes since then including when well behind Reverberation over C&D in December.

3 yo Colt

Form & Verdict
Has been out of sorts back on turf in his last three runs but he's 2-4 on AW and his last win was off this mark at Southwell (1m4f, Tapeta) in April; looks worth another try at this trip and has claims if he can revive back in this sphere; first-time cheekpieces.

Form & Verdict
Well held in all five runs, including on his handicap debut at Yarmouth (1m2f, first run after wind surgery), but he has quite a bit of stamina in his pedigree and looks a possible improver on this switch to a staying trip; needs a close look in market.

Now 0-8; it could have been the idiosyncrasies of Brighton that caused him to hang left when a well-held third there last time, though he did wear blinkers for the first time and probably isn't straightforward; bit to prove.
