Form & Verdict
Placed at Listed level in Ireland; confined to handicaps in his 11 starts for this yard, with his standout performances when first and third in successive renewals of Ascot's Victoria Cup (7f); ran moderately back at Ascot last time but had previously run right up to his best in a near miss at York (weighted to confirm placings with the third Gweedore); should go well over his optimum trip.

Has left an imprint on some of the best-known handicaps, such as when only just losing out in the Victoria Cup over C&D (good) in May 2024; has not aspired to those heights in 2025 but he's 9lb lower than for the aforementioned run and promising Warren Fentiman claims 5lb; one to keep an eye on.

Numerous fine efforts in top handicaps, runner-up in the 2023 Ayr Gold Cup and filling the same berth in last year's Victoria Cup and Great St Wilfrid; not sparkled in two 7f handicaps this season but he's dropped a handy 5lb and his rider claims a valuable 3lb too; better expected this time.

Didn't appear to take to cheekpieces (raced keenly) when well behind Johan at Goodwood but ran well in three big-field handicaps earlier in the season and his BHA mark entitles him to a crack at this level; hard to rule out.

Form & Verdict
Peak form came in winning a soft-ground French 1m Group 2 last summer; respectable in Listed/Group races this term; entitled to run better last time at Sandown when back on soft ground and the tongue-tie tried there is replaced by blinkers, which didn't do wonders for her when tried once in Australia (Group 1 admittedly); can be keen, so the assured strong gallop should at least help.

Standout effort came when winning a soft-ground Group 2 at Chantilly (1m) last summer; 0-8 since, admittedly without encountering soft ground in her three runs this summer (second in Listed race on good to soft) but the seeds of doubt have been sown; tongue tied first time.

Interrupted career but has a good strike rate, including high-profile handicap wins at Goodwood and twice at Doncaster including a year ago; first Group win came under canny front-running ride over C&D last month in Desmond Stakes (accounted for four of thesse rivals) on belated seasonal return; unlikely to get such a soft lead here but handles soft and could go well.

Two wins from ten starts; probably his best form yet when runner-up in a 6f handicap at Thirsk but that's no strong advert for his prospects at this level; lightly raced at 7f and seems to stay.

Prominent racer who is thoroughly exposed; any number of good runs this season in strong 7f handicaps and ran surprisingly well back over 6f in the Ayr Gold Cup, finishing virtually upside Ramazan; closely matched with the Fahey runner here, but wouldn't want to get competitive too far out with Azano.

He has been a fine advertisement for Katie Scott, winning 13 races over 7f and 1m; 0-6 at this trip but he was beaten less than one length in the 2023 Ayr Gold Cup; recent Musselburgh return should have blown away the cobwebs but others are still more appealing for win purposes.
