Form & Verdict
Dual AW winner (1m3f/1m4f), who is unexposed on turf and may been stretched over an extended 1m6f at Doncaster (good to firm) three weeks ago; ran well for a long way in that race and he could make a bold bid on this drop back in trip.

Very busy and he's had his share of wins, including four (one here) over 2m in 2025; AW has dominated his career; three of his last four turf starts were respectable and he's edging down the weights, so not entirely dismissed.

J: Connor Beasley

Very busy and he's had his share of wins, including four over 2m in 2025, but that's been mostly on AW which has dominated his career; best turf ratings two and three runs back before tailed off (might have overdone it up front) at Goodwood latest; again has just four rivals today but others are preferred.

Form & Verdict
Generally struggled for Roger Varian last year and, after 24,000gns sale in October, he's been tailed off in two runs for new yard this spring; dropped another 4lb but he needs a major turnaround back up in trip; blinkers removed.

Won twice over about 1m4f (AW/good to firm) last spring and he's thrown in judged on that form; twice close up on AW in January and a respectable third at Bath (2m) in April, before Ascot 2m race last week proved too tough; there's a rethink on trip today and cheekpieces (last used in June 2024) return.

Improved his record to 2-6 when justifying favouritism with an all-the-way win at Windsor (11.4f, good to firm; hood removed) 18 days ago; hit a personal best on that switch to fast ground and he remains feasibly treated after a 3lb rise; big player again for in-form yard.
