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.

Versatile regarding the going; has ground to make up on Regal Envoy on their recent Windsor run (6f) but has since run well at Epsom (7f) and he's well treated on his 6f form last summer; on the premises.

Easily best run this season was in April first time out and he's 10lb lower today; did not have a clear run from off the pace three starts back on his only visit here, but this is only his second run beyond 6f in the last two seasons, the other being in June 2023; enough doubts.

Form & Verdict
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.

Form & Verdict
Had to take a 10lb rise on the chin following wide-margin win at Doncaster (6f, good to soft) in May and comes here in good form as he couldn't get a run when it was needed at Brighton last month and was best in his group at Ripon (6f, good) since; looks set for a good run.

Whacked up 10lb for his Doncaster romp (6f, good to soft) in May; has a mixed record in four subsequent runs but he finished well for fourth at Windsor (6f, good to firm) last time; beaten less than 2l in that big-field event and has claims if he can back that up.

Form & Verdict
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.

Tumbled down weights for this yard but has only occasionally shown anything like his French ability; did well to finish as close as he did at Newbury (6f, good to firm) last month after completely blowing the start and this mark looks in range but he's not one for those of a nervous disposition.
