Form & Verdict
Bolted up at Pontefract (6f, heavy) in April but that was in a small field and he's now 9lb higher; probably doesn't stay 7f so a below-par run in the Greenham at Newbury last time is best ignored, but he'll still need a career best if he's to defy top weight back in a handicap.

Won last year's Greenlands Stakes here, battling well to beat another British challenger, with Big Gossey a little unlucky in a close third; struggled in two Group 1s in the autumn; out of the money on seasonal debut at Doncaster in March; more like it in his repeat bid in the Greenlands, splitting Big Gossey and Bucanero Fuerte; relatively light campaign may stand to him now.

Form & Verdict
Got better with virtually every run last term, winning a nursery at Sandown (5f, good) in August and going down only narrowly in similar event at Ayr (6f, good to soft; subsequently gelded) the following month; edging up the weights and will need another personal best to make a winning reappearance, but that's not out of the question.

Won a valuable 7f handicap here last summer before bolting up in the Stewards' Cup one week later; another fine course run here last month when second of 16 and he was heavily supported for a Stewards' Cup repeat, only to stumble leaving the stalls; that run is easily excused but he is back up 2lb today and his stamina for 1m has to be taken on trust.

Surged to the front 1f out when dominant in this race (good to soft) 12 months ago; 7lb higher this time around but he was better than ever when second in a hot handicap at Ascot last week (7f, good to firm) when coming from further back than ideal; 2lb ahead of the handicapper and he has a fine chance of becoming the fifth horse to win back-to-back Stewards' Cups (Commanche Falls in 2021 and 2022 was the latest).

Sold from Clive Cox for 125,000gns last autumn and ran a cracker on his first start for new connections when second of nine at Sandown (5f, good) last Friday, staying on well having had to wait for a gap; this return to 6f could unlock further improvement and he's high on the list.

Had been gelded and stepped up significantly on his 2yo form when splitting Woodhay Wonder and Dapper Valley over C&D (good; 20-1) at the Craven meeting, always in the firing line; nudged up 3lb but that last run has substance and he's still low mileage; shortlisted.

Travelled powerfully before wearing down The Man close home in this race 12 months ago; he arrives 3lb higher this time around, penalised for last week's Windsor success (a race in which he was second before his win here last year); whether his draw in stall 20 is a positive remains to be seen though.

Finished eighth behind Two Tribes in this race 12 months ago when 4lb lower; he is a better horse now, as emphasised by two 6f AW wins in January and a fine second in the Wokingham (cheekpieces first time) but he finished behind Two Tribes at Ascot last week and others look more appealing for win purposes.

Returned to form when dropped back in trip in first-time cheekpieces (retained) in the Wokingham here (6f, good to firm) last month, finishing fast under Ryan Moore for a head second; on that evidence the return to 7f could be a good move and he's one to consider.

Didn't run as a 2yo after Glorious Goodwood, then made a most encouraging reappearance when third of 17 to Woodhay Wonder over C&D (good; 20-1) at the Craven meeting, winning the race in his group of ten; may still be unexposed and won't be inconvenienced if the ground softens; big shout.

Lightly raced and upwardly mobile; first past the post on both outings this year, scooting up in novice at Catterick (7f, heavy) then finding plenty on handicap debut here (7f, good) only to be demoted to second for causing interference; not short of speed and should be just as effective back at 6f; again unlikely to be far away.
