Form & Verdict
Triple turf winner on fast and soft ground and he was a close second off this mark at Doncaster (1m2f) in the autumn; returns after 200 days off but two of his best runs last season were under Saffie Osborne and he needs a close look.

Ex-Dermot Weld; off the mark at Gowran Park (1m, good) last September then form went the wrong way in final two runs last season; now tries a new trip after 219 days off but he changed hands for 72,000gns and needs watching in market on stable debut.

All wins at 7f/1m but he was placed twice over 5f in Bahrain during the winter; met trouble when second favourite at Chester (extended 7f) on his return to Britain 17 days ago; harder to pin down than some of these and certainly not discounted.

All wins have been over 7f and 1m so it arguably bodes well for his prospects here that he's performed well over sprint trips in Bahrain this year; very good second in this race (good ground) last year from an outside stall and this front-runner has fared a lot better with the draw this time; top of the list.

Front-runner who has won three times this year and latest was over C&D in June; couldn't hang in there at Galway (sixth of 15) last time but that was a respectable effort from a tough draw and he still looks on a workable mark; dangerous dropped back in grade.

Off the mark at the seventh attempt when coming from the rear to lead close home at Bath (1m2f, heavy; second run after wind op) last month; up 4lb but she had a subsequent winner back in fourth last time and is open to more progress; key player.

Form & Verdict
Has a patchy record but he added to his Epsom win last summer when finishing well to score at Lingfield (1m, AW) last month; 3lb higher back on turf but that was a personal best last time and he looks worth another try at this trip; shortlisted.

1-25, that win for the Johnstons in an Ayr maiden (1m) in May 2023; in freefall since joining this trainer (0-7), weakening tamely after taking a keen hold in an added visor at Southwell (1m3f; last of ten) nine weeks ago, the drop back in trip needs to make a big difference.
