Form & Verdict
Roughly 5l behind Jubilee Walk on his penultimate run, but has a 5lb pull with that rival and he probably stepped up on that when fourth in a Salisbury 1m novice won by a Ballydoyle raider; all his runs have been on good or quicker ground but he's one to consider on nursery debut.

Course winner; off the mark for the year when winning a 1m handicap at Sandown in May; better form in defeat in four runs since; conditions should be fine but there doesn't appear to be much wiggle room in his current mark.

Campaigned mostly at shorter but appears to stay 1m2f; better than ever this term; has continued to perform well since spring success and was an unlucky third at Salisbury most recently (would likely have won but for traffic issues); major contender.

J: Pat Dobbs

Has not had much racing for his age and never better than this summer, producing another career best when runner-up at Goodwood (about 1m1f, good), going down narrowly to one who was ahead of his mark, both suffering interference; up 2lb; solid form chance back at 1m.

Form & Verdict
The form of his second at Kempton (7f) could have worked out better, but there was plenty to like about his third on nursery debut at Newcastle having been held up in the wrong place; the fourth in that race, who endured similar frustration, bolted up at Sandown earlier this week; unraced on slow ground but considered.

Beaten 13 times since his last win last August but he's run several mighty races in the meantime, including when beaten a neck in this last year and when third of 17 to Scoville at Doncaster (1m, good) last time; this two-time course winner could be firmly in the mix once more.

Ran well in the face of a tough task when fourth in Group 2 Celebration Mile at Goodwood (soft) a fortnight ago and he returns to a handicap on a mark 2lb lower than when fourth of 28 in the Royal Hunt Cup at Royal Ascot (1m, good to firm); has an each-way shout.

Has lots of form in major handicaps, including a good effort over C&D last year; consistent in the main but faces a stiffer assignment upped to Group level for the first time.

His only blip in five runs came when outclassed in the Windsor Castle; probably ran as well as he ever has when second to an improver at Hamilton (6f, good to soft) last time and gets in here off the same mark; withdrawn when the ground was soft at Yarmouth yesterday.

Took eight goes to get off the mark and his rider saved every inch of ground as he came from behind to prevail narrowly at Southwell (7f AW); effectively off the same mark here with Alec Voikhansky claiming 5lb, but bred to excel on the AW and he struggled on soft ground at Chester in August (okay on good to soft).
