Interrupted career but has a good strike rate, including high-profile handicap wins at Goodwood and twice at Doncaster including a year ago; first Group win came under canny front-running ride over C&D last month in Desmond Stakes (accounted for four of thesse rivals) on belated seasonal return; unlikely to get such a soft lead here but handles soft and could go well.

T: David O’Meara

Last year's Golden Mile win at Goodwood (strong record there) shows he's still smart on his day; respectable return to action when fifth in good conditions race over 7f here three weeks ago but he's gained the vast majority of his ten career wins on slower ground than he's likely to encounter this afternoon.

Form & Verdict
Course form at 7f (sole run on this track) and useful effort in a similar race to this over 1m at Ascot in October (good to soft; first-time blinkers, kept since); no frills about his handicap mark but solid contender after last week's more than satisfactory return from a break; has won on soft.

Both turf wins on soft and won a Listed race on AW in November; ducks and dives regarding the trip but he nearly made his first 6f turf handicap a winning one at Goodwood recently; back up 4lb but has course form at 7f; interesting.

Form & Verdict
Major improvement when handicapping in single-figure fields over 1m and 7f this year, winning three on soft and good; not dependent on tactics (has led) but his race was run a long way out in the Britannia at Ascot which leaves him with something to prove at this level.

Form & Verdict
Four 1m wins last year, the turf ones on good and good to firm; back to best when winning at Hamilton in July (good to soft; first-time tongue-tie, retained since) but no match for Blue For You at York since and this week's rain is not obviously helpful.

Overall form suggests he's high in the weights but he came from well back to take third to Orbaan and Blue For You in this race last year (good to firm; has won on soft) and having good C&D form puts him in the picture.

All seven wins have been on good or slower ground on turf; last success was in 2023 but he's well treated on old form and made some late gains when sixth of 15 at Nottingham (8.3f, good) last month; wasn't beaten far in that race and he could go well again on this step back up in trip.

Has won at 5f and 7f and stamina was an issue when it came to the crunch in both 1m handicaps, albeit it was still a fair effort when fifth of 22 in the Spring Mile at Doncaster (heavy); must find extra in such a competitive race.
