Form & Verdict
Front-runner who won this race in 2021, on his way to four Group wins including the Group 1 Goodwood Cup in 2023; the major concern is that his only subsequent run last year was disappointing and something has also been missing in his three races this term, but this is a step down in class and he should still be good enough.

Front-runner who gave his rivals the slip in this race two years ago and the Group 1 Goodwood Cup in 2023; the major concern is that his only subsequent run last year was disappointing and so were his two races this term.

Front-runner who was a Listed winner at York (1m6f, good to firm) last June and gave his rivals the slip to follow up in the Group 1 Goodwood Cup (2m, good to soft); his season ended with a lesser run, and his comeback was also disappointing, but this C&D winner has leading claims if back on song.

Form & Verdict
2m4f, soft-ground Listed win in Germany last September; good run under a big weight when sixth of 16 in handicap at Royal Ascot (1m6f, good to firm) on stable/seasonal debut; well below that level in her three starts since, including with sights lowered considerably last time, so best watched.

Form & Verdict
Pretty useful on the Flat, last seen in this sphere in 2022; similar at her best over hurdles but she's been a couple of notches below that in 2024; this looks a tough return to Flat duties.

Her form has gone the wrong way since her creditable fifth in the Scottish Champion Hurdle in April 2023 but she dropped down the weights and was beaten just a short head at Hexham (2m, good) last month; in with a chance.

Last of three in a 1m6f Salisbury handicap three weeks ago; showed useful form over hurdles two seasons ago but not quite so good last term; well handicapped as a result, so could bounce back.
