Form & Verdict
Ran respectably in similar event at York when last seen, while taking turf record to 0-12; strike-rate of 5-9 on AW includes 6f wins on finals day in 2021/2023; only a neck behind Annaf in this contest 12 months ago and now gets 5lb pull with that rival; Ryan Moore up for first time; big player back in this sphere.

T: Clive Cox

Prolific AW winner whose offputting 0-21 strike-rate on turf doesn't do him anywhere near justice, as he's finished in the frame many times in Group sprints, including on this track; not far away in a Group 3 at Newbury recently and he could go well at a price now back at 6f.

Ended his 2023 campaign with narrow wins in notable races at Doncaster (Portland) and Ascot (Group 3 Bengough), taking strike-rate under Rossa Ryan to 5-7; record of 5-10 on AW includes a success in this race last year; incurs 5lb penalty this time but still commands respect.

Won this race in 2023 (soft ground) off a 9lb higher mark; it's generally been tough going for him this year but he retains ability and it doesn't require a huge leap of faith to see him go close; he could do with being more alert at the stalls though.

Overcame a wide trip to win similar event over C&D when last seen 11 weeks ago, following up his Kempton handicap success and taking overall record to 4-10; incurs 3lb penalty but looks open to further progress; 2-2 under Oisin Murphy; has to be feared.

Very useful 6f AW scorer at his best; not so good nowadays but signed off for James Fanshawe with a fair third of six in 7f Wolverhampton handicap in April; more is required for new stable on a rare turf start.

Form & Verdict
Has a record of 4-8 on AW and 2-2 under David Egan, the two wins for this rider gained in useful handicaps at this course (7f) and Newcastle (6f; career-best performance) towards the end of 2023; unsuited by steady pace when held in hat-trick attempt; dual Listed scorer who has a leading chance at the weights.

Top-of-the-trees in the best sprint handicaps down the years, winning the Stewards' Cup in 2020 and the Gold Cup in 2022; failed to beat a rival here 12 months ago but the weight has fallen off his back since and his run at the Curragh last week was encouraging; could well have a decent crack at this; refitted cheekpieces replace regular visor.

Form & Verdict
Raced only over 6f; absent since struggling in the Commonwealth Cup at Royal Ascot; progressive otherwise, mostly on AW, and good effort at Newcastle on finals day 2023 took his form figures in this sphere to 2213153; may rate higher still and looks interesting on reappearance.

Interesting on the pick of his form and he's on the same mark as when second in a better race at Doncaster last October (6f, soft); two modest efforts for his new yard this year but this is less taxing than the Stewards' Cup last time.
