Form & Verdict
Six AW wins at 6f; 0-14 on turf and he hasn't been in the best of form of late, even allowing for the 7f trip, but he did some good late work over C&D (good to soft) in April and is now 8lb lower; interesting on that.

Nine wins on AW; scored at Bath on penultimate outing but is only 2-23 on turf and latest effort confirms that marks in the 80s are probably beyond him, at least nowadays, in this sphere.

Has a better strike-rate on AW than turf but he's capable of useful 6f form on grass and made short work of his rivals at Bath (extended 5f, good) last week; now 6lb higher but this mark isn't beyond him on past exploits; would have welcomed rain but still considered.

Nine-time AW winner who won three in a row during the winter and was a creditable fifth in Class 3 at Lingfield (6f, Polytrack) two weeks ago; record of 1-21 on turf but he's on a lower mark in this sphere and he had a close call at Windsor last autumn; dangerous.

Sole success from 20 starts came at Brighton (7f) in May 2024; reportedly unsuited by front-running at Wolverhampton last month but he did shape more encouragingly under more patient tactics at Wolverhampton (7f, AW; first-time cheekpieces) 39 days ago.

Chops and changes between distances and his one 6f turf run this year wasn't his best effort (possibly unsuited by soft ground); an earlier run at the trip on the AW was better so not entirely ruled out.

Had form in better races than this in France but it's been a slog in Britain and he's often slowly away; however, he did well to get as close as he did over C&D (good to firm) in June and he'll be suited by the return to 6f; interesting to see if adding a visor helps.
