Form & Verdict
Ran well on very soft in France once last year, unraced on heavy; 15l fourth over 1m on soft at Ascot two weeks ago but that was in the 11-runner Group 1 Queen Elizabeth II Stakes, so no disgrace; probably stays 1m2f and he has the form to figure prominently.

J: Rossa Ryan

T: William Knight

He's contested quality handicaps at Newbury and Ascot on his three starts this term, performing respectably and beaten around 4l each time; this 7yo probably needs something extra to snap a long losing run but he's edging down the weights and has run some big races here; worth a second look.

J: Rossa Ryan

Very useful on his day and has plenty of Listed/Group form; however, needs to improve on his Newbury handicap efforts this season (beaten 4l both times) and remains badly out of the winning habit, with losing spell stretching back to 2023.

7yo who's spent the vast majority of his career in Group or Listed races and this time last year he was fifth on this card in the Group 1 Lockinge; only his second handicap when, like so many others, he met traffic problems in the Spring Cup over C&D (28-1) four weeks ago; Rossa Ryan gets back on board and they are not totally dismissed.

Made all on soft in May, unraced on heavy; clung on by a nose in the John Smith's Cup at York in July, third at Glorious Goodwood in another good handicap and another solid run when second in Listed race at Ayr on latest outing, all at about 1m2f; looks set for another bold show.

High-class handicap form in 2023 and rounded off that campaign with two good runs in Listed company; absent for 398 days before a low-key run at Newcastle 25 days ago; subsequent wind op (his fourth) suggests there was more to that than just needing the outing and cheekpieces are now added (worn once in 2020); chance if back to his best but a point to prove for now.

J: Luke Morris

Very useful performer whose overall strike-rate is 7-21 (3-6 on AW); landed a major 1m2f handicap on turf (off 1lb lower) in 2023 and went close in Listed grade when last seen 13 months ago; market instructive on belated reappearance.

Form & Verdict
Won handicaps at Sandown (1m, good) in May and Newbury (1m2f, good to soft; unraced on worse) in August; all the rage for the Cambridgeshire here (1m1f, good to firm) on latest start and, having been checked in his run, he ran on well to be second of 34; that form in a top handicap still leaves him with a bit to find in this field but he's a lightly raced 3yo and very much on the upgrade.

Has some back-class but now 0-9 for this yard after beating one home on his return to 1m2f at Windsor 18 days ago; on the plus side, this bigger field might be more to his liking and in two previous visits to Sandown he's finished first and third; no surprise if he went well under Oisin Murphy, under whom he was fourth in last year's Golden Mile at Glorious Goodwood (on soft).

Record of 0-8 for current yard but he is nicely treated on best form and latest effort ended a spell of duck eggs, while suggesting this step back up from 1m may prove beneficial, in keeping with 2023 achievements.

Form & Verdict
Won here last October on her sole run on good to soft but has something to prove judged on her few runs on soft and heavy; the striking positive is that she's now 3-3 on this Newmarket track, having added 1m2f handicap wins on last two outings; to score in this grade requires a bit more.

Form & Verdict
Smart form in Britain in 2022 and in Bahrain and Qatar early this year; his form dipped slightly in the US in May and well below form back there at Belmont Park in June; absent 147 days but the biggest question mark comes from him being unraced on softer than good.
