Strong Warrior

9st 6lb

J: Jack Garritty

T: Richard Fahey

Won his first two starts and he was a close second on his handicap debut last June (6f, good to firm); struggled thereafter, albeit pitched into a Group 1 at Royal Ascot; gelded during his 132-day absence; could still have some potential and switching to AW shouldn't be a problem.

J: Cam Hardie

T: Richard Fahey

Short-priced favourite when winning an Ayr maiden on his debut and a Pontefract novice on his 3yo return; solid effort on his handicap debut at Windsor in June but found the Commonwealth Cup too hot to handle 18 days later; no improvement for 7f at Ascot three weeks ago; tongue tie now reached for; risky but Richard Fahey won this with a 3yo in 2023.

All four runs on good or quicker ground; relinquished unbeaten record when second on handicap debut at Windsor before flying too high in the Group 1 Commonwealth Cup at Royal Ascot; this is a big drop down from that and he remains unexposed.

J: Jack Callan

T: Kevin Ryan

Second of 24 in the 5f 3yo handicap at Royal Ascot (5f, good to firm) last June and he showed good speed before fading into sixth of 19 over 6f here (good) last October, when last seen; wind op since; the drop back in trip could be a positive move on his reappearance; can make a bold bid.

J: Warren Fentiman

T: Kevin Ryan

Classy front-running 3yo who was runner-up in the 5f handicap at Royal Ascot (good to firm) and fifth in the Ayr Gold Cup three weeks ago, when 6f on soft ground probably stretched his stamina; today's conditions should be ideal and he may not have reached his ceiling just yet; big player.

J: Tom Eaves

T: Kevin Ryan

Rapid strides in the first half of the year, notably when blitzing rivals from a wide stall at Chester's May meeting (6f, good); fine second at Royal Ascot (5f, good to firm) then he was a big market mover in the Stewards' Cup last month, showing his trademark early pace but weakening out of things in the final furlong; last year's renewal showed making the running wasn't a barrier to success in this race and Kevin Ryan bids for a sixth Ayr Gold Cup win; stiff 6f on slower than good might prove a step too far though.

Gained a deserved success at Catterick (5f) in October and resumed from five months off with a good third of 14 in 5f Musselburgh handicap 27 days ago; a likely player off an unchanged mark.

A third representative in this field for Robert Cowell; came good at Catterick (5f, good) last autumn after several near misses; possibly found heavy ground against him at Doncaster on final start and has since been gelded; not ruled out if ready to do himself justice after a break.

Two minor wins as a 2yo; gained compensation for a string of near misses when winning last week's Catterick Dash (5f, good) in fine style; this will be a very different test of his skillset though and a 5lb rise may find him out; unraced on slower than good to soft.
