Dual winner (7f/1m) who has posted some good efforts at this track, including when runner-up over this C&D in March off a 4lb higher mark; two solid runs since joining this stable and has to be considered with first-time visor replacing cheekpieces.

Useful 7f and 1m form in 2026, including when fifth in a higher grade at Sandown (first-time cheekpieces) in June on yard debut; however he's won just once in the last three years and although he showed useful form in a C&D novice as a 3yo, his AW runs since have come on Polytrack; shade to prove.

Losing run is mounting up but he ran respectably over C&D most recently (final start for Charles Hills) and ties in with unexposed Raammee on that form; possibilities off same mark, provided he takes well to first-time headgear; remains with same owner.

Has produced two sound performances at Goodwood this term, namely Listed win (1m2f; gamely beat Naqeeb) in May and close second in very useful conditions race (1m1f) last time; ties in with Seagulls Eleven on Diomed (8.5f) running; solid claims.

American Pharoah colt; belied his 33-1 odds with a promising debut at Sandown (7f, good; beaten a nose) two weeks ago, finishing well and nearly getting up; takes on several interesting newcomers but is open to any amount of progress and may put his experience to good use.

Three wins over 7f/1m on good and soft ground in the summer of 2024; looked about ready to strike when second of 12 at Goodwood (1m, good to soft) in June and now 3lb lower, but modest in both starts since; something to prove attempting this far for the first time.

Six AW wins since December, including a four-timer in February/March after the cheekpieces went on; four defeats have followed but he was staying on again when hampered in the closing stages over the extended 1m2f here last time, suggesting this return to a longer trip may suit.

Late headway once in the clear in the Listed Wolferton Stakes at Royal Ascot (1m2f, good to firm) in June, finishing seventh of 16, and outclassed in the Eclipse since (well beaten at 100-1); drops back in grade and the step back up in trip is worth a go, but he's 0-13 in Group/Listed races since winning the London Gold Cup in May 2024 and may again find a few too good.

Capable of very useful form but he is 0-12 since landing a major handicap at Newbury over two years ago and was unplaced in the Listed Wolferton Stakes at Royal Ascot last month; supplemented at a cost of £50,000, possibly to act as pacemaker for fellow Wathnan Racing runner Gethin.

No win since landing two of his first four starts but has a largely consistent record in Listed/Group company since, including third to Haatem and Galen in this race on good to firm 12 months ago; again ran well when chasing home Damysus in Group 3 at Newmarket (1m1f, good) on reappearance in April; a subsequent Chester run was disappointing but his record suggests he's unlikely to stay down for long.
