Godolphin gelding who is proving consistent (form figures read 11324); ran creditably upped to 1m6f at Ascot (good to firm) most recently, while leaving the impression a stronger pace would have suited; in the mix.

Two minor honours on softer than good to start career; second of six on handicap debut at Kempton (1m4f, AW) last month is his best form and he faded into sixth of 13 at Newcastle (1m4f, AW) ten days later; lightly raced, with something to prove.

Best run yet when 1l second of six to improved Godolphin winner on handicap debut at Kempton (1m4f, Polytrack; 9-4) ten days ago; he should be suited by the likely strong pace in this big field and his trainer won this with a 3yo in 2022; firmly in calculations off the same mark.

Usually held up; third in a 2yo maiden was his sole run on softer than good; can race freely but showed improved form when upped to 2m for wins at Kempton (AW) and Nottingham (good) in his final two runs last season, and he continued on his upward curve when a close, never-nearer third of seven over C&D (good) three weeks ago; retains potential.

Well-bred colt who cost 1,000,000gns as a yearling; weak 9-2, performed a long way below expectations (beaten 23l) in 1m maiden on the July course (good) almost ten weeks ago but should be capable of much better.

Powerful yard, who won this two years ago, had a few disappoint at short prices of late; this lightly raced 400,000gns yearling holds obvious claims, having been gelded since winning his novice last summer (highly tried a couple of times prior) though.

No great shakes on the Flat (1-11) but he did win his final run in that scene over 1m4f at Brighton in September (good to firm; also runner-up on soft); failed favourite backers when second on hurdling debut (Warwick; 2m, good) but the winner has since progressed to better things; absent since November but his yard has won two of the last four renewals of this; player.
