Form & Verdict
Below par at Newmarket 16 days ago but progressive over 7f otherwise this term; should take well to Epsom, having gained both wins at similar Brighton (7f, firm/good to firm), the latest in June when having plenty in hand; interesting on first run here.

Won three times over this trip last year when with Roger Varian; no wins in seven for current yard and this is a tough race in which to put that right; in first-time cheekpieces today.

Triple 7f winner for Roger Varian last year; gave a pretty good account before fading into sixth at Epsom (7f, good) nine days ago but is now 0-6 for George Baker and needs to find something extra.

J: Ashley Lewis

T: Joseph Parr

His last win was 11 months ago but he's a reliable type who has been placed at Chester (7.6f, good) and Chelmsford (7f, AW) in last two runs; finished behind Finbar's Lad last time but he's 5lb better off with that rival and should go well again back on turf.

Form & Verdict
Record is 4-11; useful form at York (good to firm/good to soft) since wearing cheekpieces, winning gamely over 7f then creditable fourth over 1m; holds solid claims in the retained headgear back down in trip/grade, assuming he handles the track.

J: Luke Catton

T: Jim Boyle

Has form on all surfaces; won this in 2021 and 2023, and finished a close second in 2022, but he was well beaten when favourite here 12 months ago and his form has been quite mixed this year; he's a possible reviver back in this race but he hasn't justified shortish prices on last two starts, including over C&D, which leaves questions to answer.

Form & Verdict
Acts on good to firm, probably on good to soft; failed to get home over 1m last time; last two attempts over 7f have resulted in a ready win and solid second, both at Haydock; remains of interest, especially having scored on this card 12 months ago.
