Form & Verdict
7f novice winner on the AW and confirmed his effectiveness on Polytrack when a close third back there over 1m 18 days ago; that was his first run since being gelded and in a tongue-tie; likely contender if handling this faster ground (all turf runs on slower) and breeding offers hope in that respect.

Progressive results at two and three; successful in York handicap (1m, good) most recently, taking overall record to 2-6; that form has been franked since; open to further improvement and looks appealing.

Form of ready novice win on third start last back end (7f here) is strong with the second 3-5 since (peak RPR 100) and other winners in behind; excuses can be made for defeat on his return/handicap debut (started 3-1) and he could be a different proposition now gelded; tongue-tie goes on.

Form & Verdict
Won a 7f AW novice for Sir Michael Stoute last September; modest runs the last twice but his close third to the useful Balance Play at Chester in June is good form and he might be better for being gelded; goes on all ground.

110,000gns yearling who has shown a good attitude to win both starts on the AW (1m/1m2f) and this mark could be okay; imposing 3yo built to carry weight but whether he'll appreciate fast ground remains to be seen.

Third of 15 for Richard Hughes in the Golden Mile here last August when 5lb higher; hasn't hit the same heights since, most recently fifth of nine at Redcar when the 6-4 favourite; however, he's on a dangerous mark and is not written off; interesting to see if he's again strong in the betting.

Very useful for Richard Hughes, including third in the Golden Mile at Goodwood (1m, soft) on last year's reappearance; failed to back that up in two subsequent outings in 2025 but added to his solid record fresh when fourth on 1m Newmarket return for new yard 23 days ago; classy but needs to show he can still string good efforts together now.

Beat 15 rivals over 7f here in July and from the front he went down narrowly in a tight finish over the 1m here 16 days ago, finishing alongside Catch The Paddy; no reason why he shouldn't be very competitive once more.

Didn't need to improve on earlier efforts to win a 1m maiden at Ayr last month (made all as the 2-7 favourite); ran poorly at Chester (1m2f, good to soft) on his handicap debut four weeks ago; better than that but he needs to bounce back quickly; visor off.
