Form & Verdict
Prominent-racer who has been better than ever when winning 6f Listed races the last twice; his revival has coincided with a return to a slow ground and he carries a 3lb penalty today, but he was a C&D handicap winner on good to firm last season and can make a bold bid if his purple patch continues.

Multiple winner, most recently when sent over to Qatar in February, but his form has regressed since and this is a difficult task even if a revival materialises; gained his C&D wins at handicap/Listed level; yet to score above Group 3.

Form & Verdict
Mixed form this year and disappointing favourite in the Stewards' Cup last time; however, he was restless in the stalls that day and he kept on well two starts ago for second in the Group 3 Coral Charge at Sandown (5f, soft); Listed winner over C&D (soft) last October and versatile ground-wise; can be in the shake-up for in-form yard if bouncing back from latest run.

He hasn't won since a Listed success at York (6f, soft) in October 2023; in the meantime he has often attracted support, favourite in the 2024 Stewards' Cup and last season's Ayr Gold Cup; two perfectly creditable efforts for Robert Cowell this year and he showed promise in one Tapeta run last spring; not discounted for a trainer who runs four.

5f may be his optimum trip and he's been beaten in Group races on his last 11 starts, but he's often run well in that time including when fifth in the Group 3 Hackwood Stakes at Newbury in July on a rare crack at 6f (good to firm); drops in grade today and could be involved.

Looked set to be a major sprinting force when beating a top sprinter in a 6f Group 2 on this track (good) in May 2023 but she's had only a handful of starts since and her dead-heat for first in a 5f Listed race at Ayr (good to firm) last time wasn't really worthy of the sprinter she promised to become; still time for her to do better but she's up against the specialist 5f sprinters, which gives her more to prove; yard won this in 2015 and 2016.
