Form & Verdict
400,000gns yearling; showed plenty of ability in first two starts before winning a Redcar novice (7f, good) in October; likely there is more to come from him this year and the market may reveal more back from seven months off; should stay 1m.

0-4 last season but this prominent-racer ran well more often than not, including when third in the Group 3 John Of Gaunt at Haydock (7f, good) on his reappearance; also effective at 1m and on slow ground; there can be optimism he'll be at or close to the top of his game on this seasonal debut; chance.

Won a valuable Curragh handicap last May and impressed in a Listed win there (also 1m, good) the following month; again had Ryan Moore riding when he looked a shade unlucky in York Group 3 (1m1f, good to firm) in August; finished last year with good efforts in Group 2s at Leopardstown and Longchamp; back in that sort of form when close fifth in Saint-Cloud Group 3 (1m, soft) 17 days ago and he's a likely player with Moore retaking the reins.

Progressive 4yo won over this trip at the Curragh this term in premier handicap and Listed contest (beating Alakazi); similar level of form unlucky-in-running third in Group 2 Strensall Stakes at York last month; below-par run on soft ground in between raises concerns but big player if handling it.

J: Alec Voikhansky

T: Richard Hannon

Has run well to be placed in his last three starts since stepped up to 1m; inside draw is a positive for one who likes to be up there, but he has been edging up the weights for not winning and the return to 7f is not sure to be a plus; stable won this in 2016 and 2019.

Won his first two starts on the AW (1m/8.6f) earlier in year, but only sixth of eight after a poor start in a Newcastle Listed race (1m, AW; 100-30) five weeks ago (over 2l behind Yokohama); respected nonetheless for stable that has won three of the last seven runnings.

Didn't shine on his two runs in the first half of this year and same story at Haydock (7f, soft) last month, having been gelded; however, perhaps the ground didn't suit last time and it will be no surprise if this lightly raced 3yo bounces back and plays a leading role today.

Form & Verdict
Prominent in the betting when making a winning debut at Newcastle (7f, AW; 7-2) last September, but never figured after an awkward start and meeting trouble when fifth of eight in a Listed race there (1m; 28-1) five weeks ago; market support should be heeded on turf/handicap debut.

Has slipped to a career-low mark and well-backed fifth of 15 when returned to turf at Doncaster (1m2f) in March last time wasn't too bad; however, his record over that sort of trip is far more appealing than his two runs at 1m4f and his turf tally is 0-11.

Drawn a blank since AW debut success but was placed over this trip on turf (good/good to firm) off higher marks last season; hard to get too excited by this winter's AW efforts but it's possible an eight-week break could have had a reviving effect; one to note in the betting.
