J: Pat Cosgrave

His last win was off 9lb higher over 1m4f at Brighton in September 2023; some efforts on AW during the winter were respectable but his return to Brighton last month saw him tailed off after a slow start; none too solid.

Two wins this year, the latter at Yarmouth (1m, good to soft) in early August; no match for clear winner when second at Goodwood (1m1f, soft) three weeks ago but is suited by this C&D and remains on a workable mark.

Form & Verdict
Won twice over 1m2f last summer and he's only 1lb higher than for the second of them; running creditably in defeat this year but he will need to pull out extra to win.

Won twice on turf last season and he has run some good races in defeat this time around; last couple of efforts need forgiving; dropping into a 0-60 should help but he still has something to prove on AW.

Won twice on turf last season and he has run some good races in defeat this time around; he wasn't at his best at Nottingham nine days ago but this is a more realistic assignment; no reason why he won't be fully effective on AW in time.

Steadily on the downgrade now but has been placed in two handicaps here this season (1m/7f) and also ran well in a recent classified race here (7f); suited by fast ground and probably worth another crack at 1m2f; more appealing than some of these.

Had two wins elsewhere since a course win last June; further good runs here back in the spring but returned from 78 days off yesterday (C&D) and, having led for much of the race, trailed in sixth of the eight runners; these classified terms are favourable.
