Form & Verdict
Won this two years ago (good to firm) off 3lb higher; 640 days off before soundly beaten at Royal Ascot and although he finished vastly closer in Temporize's race at Newbury 13 days ago, that was a steadily run race and he was ninth of ten; will probably take longer to return to winning ways.

Has won on good to soft; surged to new heights in July 2022 when winning at Kempton (2m, AW) and Glorious Goodwood (2m4f, good to firm); the latter display would make him a player (same mark today) and he was prominent to 2f out when soundly beaten at Royal Ascot (2m4f) on his return from 640 days off, but others have a bit less to prove at present.

French win in 2022; this is his second season in Britain, with best of those efforts on last three starts when winning at Lingfield and going close at Goodwood and Salisbury; still looked a rising force last time but those three runs were all over about 1m4f and he's never raced beyond that, so today's 2m4f race involves a large dose of guesswork.

Phil Kirby trained him in 2023 and hitherto in 2024, but new yard today (same owner); scored five times from 1m4f to 2m on varied ground in 2023, when he was also a staying-on second to Temporize in this race; has run well in defeat every time this season, perhaps suggesting he's a touch too high in the weights but he makes each-way appeal back in this contest.

Won at Goodwood in June and went very close, albeit in uncompetitive field, at Pontefract on penultimate start; ties in with Duke Of Verona on latest effort; acts on AW.

Won a 2m Goodwood handicap in June (good) when wearing cheekpieces for the second time; hasn't run quite as well since (beaten 47l at Goodwood last time); down in grade and visor on again (no obvious improvement last time he wore one); chance.

Form & Verdict
Ex-Gordon Elliott, third in this race last year from out the back off 2lb higher; won over hurdles in May on debut for Olly Murphy and not disgraced here next time, before a poor show over hurdles 25 days ago; not impossible if that latest run can be forgiven.

Form & Verdict
In blinding form in spring/summer 2022 but he's lacked the same punch since back in Britain from May 2023 onwards; way below peak mark and finished much closer again on three of his four starts this term, fourth of 20 at Royal Ascot (2m4f) last time, but plenty of others are still more persuasive.

Long in the tooth and on the downgrade now but still retains a good chunk of ability, as evidenced by his fourth of 20 in Royal Ascot marathon (2m4f, good to firm) in June; moves back up in trip after respectable fourth in deeper race than this here (12.5f) last month; must be considered.

J: David Nolan

T: David O’Meara

Winless in well over two years and takes a drop in trip on his belated AW debut, having run a couple of times over 2m4f in the summer; this is less competitive off a career-low mark and he has claims if stamina comes into the equation.

Form & Verdict
Useful on the Flat in his prime; no win since 2022, including 0-8 record over hurdles and he was well below form in that sphere on last two starts, the latest for new yard.

Useful Flat racer who opening hurdling account at ninth attempt, with 23l success in Fontwell maiden (2m3f, good to soft) on last month's stable debut; hit flat spot at end of back straight and had to settle for third when returned to Fontwell three weeks ago (2m5f, good to soft) but has big role to play if Beau Morgan can keep him motivated here.
