9st 5lb |
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. |

2nd Aug 2024 Good To Firm 2m 4f 97y Class 2 |
8st 10lb |
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. |

Not proven over this far (stiff tasks at 2m5f); won at Nottingham (1m6f) in June; not quite so potent in her three runs since and although she's a highly consistent sort, effective at this track, her strike-rate is just 4-50. |

Three wins last season; asserted in grand style at Salisbury (1m6f, soft) this May and followed that with third of 20 at Royal Ascot (2m4f, good to firm); good third at Newbury (2m) 13 days ago, staying on after Temporize dictated up front; could still be a very useful stayer in the making. |

Won four-runner chase in November; third at Royal Ascot (2m4f) last year is the clear pick of his eight Flat starts in 2023 or 2024 and he tailed off back in the same Royal Ascot race last time (a rare run in cheekpieces); well down the weights, but with clear risks attached. |

Won four-runner chase in November; third in this race last year (on good) is the clear pick of his seven Flat starts in 2023 or 2024 and he's now 5lb lower, giving him a great chance if he were back to that level; beaten about 5l in two useful AW races this term, battling on; the cheekpieces (last used in May 2023) are of uncertain benefit but he can't be dismissed lightly. |

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. |

Peak efforts have been on good or good to firm but he has won on good to soft; second in this race in 2022 when in career-best form and he's 2lb lower today; not seen in 654 days before this season but it's possible to find encouragement in the way he's shaped on both starts since. |

Soft ground looks against him but he's never raced on firmer than good; 1m6f may have been too short at Newmarket latest (stays 2m2f well); now has his lowest mark for over two years and penultimate start (second to Tenerife Sunshine here) suggests he can be bang there if the ground is okay. |
