Form & Verdict
Now back to the same mark off which he beat 17 rivals at York in May (5f, good to firm) and there's light at the end of the tunnel after finishing only 3l off the principals last time at Ascot (6f); won his novice here on soft; respected.

Won on reappearance at Yarmouth in April and now 4lb lower; however, his subsequent form has been patchy and he needs to raise his game in first-time cheekpieces.

All wins at 5f, one of them here at last year's Dante meeting, and he's on the same mark as when making a successful return at Yarmouth in April (5f, good to firm); best produced late off a strong pace at 5f though and his 6f form is unconvincing.

Form & Verdict
Won this 12 months ago (making it 2-2 at the track) and this campaign took a turn for the better when placed at Thirsk three weeks ago (6f, good); handicapped to be very competitive but his best form is on good or faster ground.

Not the force of old but that is reflected in his mark; had wind surgery prior to York 18 days ago, a race in which he ran with more promise than his finishing position suggests; dropped 3lb and the return of headgear can help; better run can be expected.

Ran away with a Class 4 handicap at Brighton this month (6f, good) and from a bad draw he raced widest when well held in mid-division at Southwell last week; now 8lb higher than for that recent win but has good form off this mark and he goes on soft ground; respected.

Drew a blank in 2025 but he has slipped a long way in the weights; absent since a poor run at Newcastle (7f) in February; headgear absent for his return and dropping back to 6f isn't sure to suit.

Too headstrong in a clear lead at Southwell (7f) last time, so did fairly well to be beaten only 2l in the end; gained last win off 10lb higher at Newcastle in August 2024; fighting chance provided he settles.

C&D winner who scored on the other course here (1m, good) in May; hasn't hit the same level in four subsequent runs but he was not beaten far at Thirsk last time and he ties in with Tuscan Hills on that form; usually comes from off the pace and has possibilities if he gets the breaks.

Campaigned mostly at the Newmarket tracks this term, winning in May and respectable third last time; has shown versatility in the past but looks weighted to the hilt off current mark and this step back up in class adds to the difficulty.

Well beaten at Epsom on Oaks day and he still had work to do when his path was blocked late on over this C&D three weeks ago; however, before those he won in good style on the other Newmarket course (1m, good) and he won this race in 2024 (good to soft); capable of having a say.

Form & Verdict
Without a win in three years; this season is turning into a struggle and not sure his recent fifth of seven at Thirsk offered sufficient encouragement that he's about to turn a corner; soft ground is unlikely to be ideal.

Over three years since his last win; down the field in two hot handicaps this season but last season's peak effort came when a close second in the Stewards' Cup and he's now 4lb lower; not straightforward but more than enough ability to contend.
