Form & Verdict
Missed more than a year after a successful 2yo debut; showed enough in two runs at Meydan earlier in the year (albeit was turned over at odds-on latterly) to suggest he'll be a factor tonight in first-time headgear.

Lightly raced 5yo whose only two defeats came at Meydan; 3-3 in British races, including a couple of clearcut wins over 7f on good ground since wearing cheekpieces, latest at Goodwood; gives the impression (backed up by pedigree) that he'll be as effective back at 1m; trainer landed this prize in 2010 and 2021; big player with further progress on the cards.

Three turf runs last backend came on soft/heavy ground, including when turned over at a short price in a weak Leicester novice; needs to have improved for the six-month layoff.

Quite late in the day to be going beyond an extended 1m for the first time; often makes the running and can race freely, so will need to settle early from a wide stall back from ten weeks off; not in much form when last seen either way.

Front-runner; two of his three wins have come over C&D and he is now 1lb lower than for the latest of them; not at best in two runs here this winter but this represents a drop in class.

Dual soft-ground winner, so the more rain the better; he's run poorly in two starts this spring, though, and is hard to recommend.

Close third off lower AW mark at Kempton (1m) in May and fair effort when third at Salisbury (7f, good to firm) since; two of his last three wins have come over this C&D and he's respected now back here.

Unraced here but a five-time turf winner over 7f at four different tracks; might well have won over 1m at Kempton (AW) last month had that race panned out more favourably; 7lb higher this time back on the grass but he can cope with this mark.

Was having just his second start over 1m+ when running only okay at his favourite venue Epsom 29 days ago and he's towards the foot of the list in trying to capitalise on a lower AW mark here; trainer won this race last year.

Made all when finally winning his maiden on Polytrack (7f) in February; the tongue-tie has helped and he's fairly treated back on turf, so needs considering.

1m2f second last year on his only race at Sandown; second off today's mark at Epsom (1m2f, good to firm) on penultimate start was easily the best of his four runs on turf this season but his only win remains an AW maiden.

Looked to be suited by the step back up in trip when runner-up at Epsom (1m2f, good to firm) a fortnight ago, despite not looking at home on the track; may be able to build on that performance today and he's a possible.

Form & Verdict
Done most racing on the AW and ran poorly the only two occasions he tried turf in Ireland; is 5lb lower on grass and his winter win came after a similar absence, but he wants a good test at this trip and that's no certainty in a small field.
