Form & Verdict

0-11 in the last two seasons and not quite at his best at York three weeks ago; however, he's frequently run highly creditably and has finished second in the last two runnings of the Stewards' Cup (6f, heavy/good to firm); today's slightly shorter trip should be fine and he has an each-way shout.

Some good efforts this year and he kept on well to win in a big field at York's Ebor meeting (5.4f, good to firm) last month; he has a solid record at York and this is his first run here, but a 4lb rise for last time isn't harsh and there can be hope he'll be fine with the extra yardage; respected.

Has won on soft and yielding ground but best on good or quicker; came from the clouds before meeting trouble in running in the King Charles III at Royal Ascot, so did well to finish about 3l behind the winner; again came from behind when leading near the line in a Group 2 at the Curragh since; in prime form but those tactics can be hard to pull off here.

British raider was in fine form at Meydan at the turn of the year, winning a Listed (yielding) and a Group 2 (good), both over 5f; didn't get the smoothest of runs when beaten 3.5l in the King Charles III at Royal Ascot last time (behind Rosy Affair and Jakajaro) and could get closer here if getting a clear passage.

One of his best domestic efforts when winning a C&D handicap last July; seemingly improved when successful in 5f Listed and Group 2 events at Meydan (yielding and good) in midwinter but has much more to do in this company.

Form & Verdict

He's 2lb lower than when fifth in this last year (soft) and has been running better than his recent form-figures suggest, with his last-time-out eighth of 22 at York (5f, good to firm) coming from a tough draw; however, he seems best at a bare 5f and may be vulnerable to stronger finishers.

All ten wins at 5f; last scored just over a year ago on good to firm but he's got plenty of form on a softer surface and ran well when runner-up in Epsom's "Dash" in June; also performed with credit at Glorious Goodwood and could be the type to bounce back from a lesser effort at Pontefract a fortnight ago; having just his second outing here since winning a C&D novice back in 2021.
