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.

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.

Fifth of 16 in this last year in a race that favoured those ridden more prominently and he's been in career-best form at Sandown on his last two starts, posting a win (1m, good) and a very creditable third of 12 (1m2f, good); could be involved.

Usually gives his running and won with a bit in hand over 1m here two weeks ago (1m, good); goes further this afternoon and off a career-high mark (4lb higher), so likely to need more.

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.

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.

Defied a 5lb lower mark in the corresponding race 12 months ago; many good runs in defeat since then, including his fourth in the Royal Hunt Cup, and he is unlikely to be too far away.

Currently in a consistent vein of form that ties him in with some of today's opponents; creditable third to Indalo at Sandown most recently; Goodwood record comprises a couple of second-place finishes at this meeting, including in this race last year; solid claims.

Form & Verdict
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as he ever has when second to an improver at Hamilton (6f, good to soft) last time and gets in here off the same mark; withdrawn when the ground was soft at Yarmouth yesterday.

Form & Verdict
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).
