Easily his best form this year is the defeat of 17 rivals over this far at Newbury (good to soft), since when he's been beaten a long way at York; becoming a hard horse to predict.

Both wins have been on slow ground and had those conditions when second on his reappearance at Doncaster (1m2f); beaten double-digit lengths in all his runs since (the last twice in cheekpieces then a visor) and others are safer here.

Probably no ground worries; not a prolific winner, with his waiting tactics, but he was fourth in the Ebor last year off a 2lb higher mark; ran creditably on reappearance, before none of his three starts since panned out favourably; can be given a place chance.

J: Daniel Tudhope

T: David O’Meara

Not a prolific winner, with his waiting tactics, and never involved when 7-1 for last year's 1m4f Duke of Edinburgh at this meeting; however, it would be unwise not to recall his fourth in the Ebor at York last August (1m6f, good to firm) off a 1lb higher mark and he was unsuited by the steady pace at York last time out (1m4f); could get competitive should this pan out favourably; stable won this in 2022.

With Andrew Balding when finishing fourth in Desert Crown's Derby two seasons ago; lost his way for that yard and was moved on for 20,000gns last October; didn't run well enough on his reappearance at York (1m2f; 80-1) to warrant a second look here.

Useful 2yo and better than ever the last twice, winning narrowly at Newcastle (1m2f AW) before going down by only a neck to a progressive Haggas horse at Newmarket two weeks ago (1m2f, good); perhaps a shade flattered latterly having dominated up front but clearly an appealing option off just 1lb higher.

J: Hollie Doyle

Strike-rate of 4-12; wasn't helping his jockey when a close third behind an improver at Redcar (1m2f, good to firm) and blinkers could be a significant addition, replacing regular cheekpieces; there's nothing wrong with his mark.

Form & Verdict
Hit with a 9lb rise for his clearcut Haydock win (1m2f, good to firm) and that looked a factor when no match for a progressive winner at Lingfield; now has to prove himself worthy of such a mark but it's still relatively early days and he's in better form than most of these.

Drew clear to win by nearly 5l at Haydock (1m2f, good to firm) in May, his second handicap, but found one too good when odds-on to follow up later that month and again let favourite backers down when only sixth of nine at Doncaster (1m2f, good) in July; moves up in trip here and may still have potential but has a point to prove.

Low-mileage 4yo; just edged out by Plage De Havre on his C&D reappearance but promoted to first after suffering interference; that rival bolted up at Newcastle next time so a short-priced defeat for this one at Wolverhampton (1m6f) 11 days ago probably shouldn't be taken to suggest that the handicapper has got him.
