Shot back to some form when first past the post in five-finisher race at Epsom 11 days ago but demoted for interference; well treated judged on that display but none too consistent; lots to prove on softer than good.

One C&D success among a magnificent total of 13 wins; below best at Epsom last week but he showed he retains plenty of ability since absence when a front-running second of eight at Lingfield (6f, AW) in June; can give it a good shot from rail draw back on AW.

10yo who has won 13 times, including twice over C&D; last success was in 2023 but he's well treated on old form and was a front-running second on AW when last seen in June; dangerous back from a break.

Conditions to suit and he's on a good mark but this veteran has been well beaten in two runs since returning from a long absence and this looks a tough race in which to bounce back.

Form & Verdict
Unraced on softer than good; won at Salisbury last August on debut and tried a Group 2 on his only other 2yo start; getting a bit closer in handicaps this term, taking fourth of eight at Bath last time when first having his tongue tied; that was his best form and he didn't have the best of runs but he needs to build on it.

Made it 3-7 over C&D when justifying favouritism with a narrow win in February; no joy in two turf runs this season and has wide draw back on Tapeta but she's now only 1lb higher than for her last success; Hollie Doyle is booked; contender if she can get back near best.

Off the mark at the fifth time of asking as a 2yo, responding well to first-time blinkers at Leicester in October (6f, heavy); blinkers back on when fair third of seven at Newbury (good) 18 days ago, making most and possibly unsuited by first attempt at 7f; relatively early days.

Blinkered last two starts, on first occasion second at Ffos Las and that's easily his best show since Bath win last June; never dangerous when second favourite at Bath on latest start, so the doubts return; blinkers off.

Probably no ground worries; 429 days off and changed stables before this season, followed by three places and a Newbury win; back up 4lb but remains well treated on his old form and scored in tidy enough fashion last time to be shortlisted again.

Won at Wolverhampton on seasonal/handicap debut, completing a hat-trick (all 6f on AW) in the process; struggled on good to firm at York in May when making his only start both at 5f and on turf; not at his best in either AW start since, particularly latest, and she was withdrawn when upset in the stalls once in between; questions to answer and now wears a hood.

Decent strike-rate on AW but form has been patchy since her last win April and she failed to beat a rival at Chelmsford (6f) on last month's stable debut; now 3lb lower than for last success but she still has stamina to prove at this trip and others are more solid; cheekpieces reapplied.
