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.

2m4f German Listed win last September; ran well in Royal Ascot handicap on reappearance but not so well since and her second on penultimate start came in a three-runner race won by the long odds-on favourite; needs a return to peak form on this AW debut, with new blinkers replacing cheekpieces.

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.

Seen far more often over hurdles in recent years and she's pretty useful, but pulled up in March on latest outing; stiff task in a three-runner race last September and that's her only Flat run since a creditable show over C&D (good to firm) in June 2022; down the weights but not solid.

Won two handicaps in a row at Sedgefield (2m4f, good/good to soft) towards the end of last year before tough Grade 2 task at Doncaster; however, only fifth when back in a handicap at Newcastle (2m1f, good to soft) last month and needs a bigger performance this afternoon.
