Form & Verdict
Raced only at 6f; rounded off his 2yo campaign with an AW novice win and returned to win a Windsor handicap (good to firm) in June; his subsequent sixth came in a traditionally strong 6f 3yo handicap at the Newmarket July meeting and the form has already been boosted; tends to race freely (wears hood) but shapes as if he'll stay 7f and makes obvious appeal taking on largely much more exposed opposition.

Slowly away on his last three starts; runner-up over 6f here in April following a break; hasn't built on that on turf on his two starts since (6f) but he made late headway at Chester last time and the return to 7f may be a good move; could be involved back here.

Form & Verdict
Won small-field 5f events at Salisbury and Musselburgh (both good ground) at the start of his 2yo season but has rarely threatened since; beaten just over 8l when fourth on his 5f Redcar reappearance and down the field in a Royal Ascot handicap (5f again) in a first-time visor since; the cheekpieces he wore three times last year are back in place now; has a fair bit to prove stepping up 2f in trip.

7lb lower than when winning at Epsom (6f, good to firm) in July 2022 but weakened to finish a remote fourth (not helped by being hampered by a loose horse but it's only a partial excuse) in that same contest four weeks ago; not an obvious one after that but a career-low mark and the presence of William Buick in the saddle mean he can't be dismissed.

A string of good runs at Brighton before collecting by 3l over C&D in a race that panned out to perfection; bled from the nose when disappointing at Brighton last time but he's 7lb higher than for his penultimate run and could have competition for the lead back on AW.
