Lightly raced 4yo who has done all his racing on ground softer than good; having his first run since the spring when scoring readily over 5f at the Curragh last Sunday, travelling smoothly; looks well in under a 5lb penalty and should be just as effective back at 6f (1-1 over the trip); big chance. |

Equally effective at 5f and 6f and goes well on ground softer than good; ended his time with Hamad Al Jehani with a fine third of 15 here two weeks ago; subsequently changed hands for 26,000gns; not ruled out off the same mark for his new stable. |

Won back to back over 6f on AW/turf (Southwell and York) during August and September and has held his form reasonably well since; latest 6f fifth here was given a boost by the winner (Alfa Whiteburd) here this week; effectiveness over 7f (0-3) is the primary concern. |

Improved efforts in August/September, winning over this trip at Southwell and York, and he showed he was still in good form when a never-nearer fifth of 15 in a warm race at Doncaster last time; twice a C&D winner and looks a leading contender once more. |

8st 8lb |
Has raced exclusively at 6f; won handicap debut at Southwell in April and placed on next three starts, but he pulled hard and faded when beating only two home at Newcastle in August; something to prove after 79 days off but he's lightly raced and it's possible there's still some untapped potential. |

Well backed when making a winning handicap debut at Southwell in April (6f, Tapeta); placed in all three runs since, most recently chasing home Thunder Blue at Wolverhampton three weeks ago on his first run after a gelding operation (fluffed the start); same mark today but this looks a better race. |

Useful on his day but has an underwhelming strike-rate and his 2024 form is inconsistent; that said, holds a fighting chance off current mark back down in grade, provided he's on song. |

Fared best of the larger centre group when fifth of 17 overall at York (5f, soft) a fortnight ago; kept on well that day and there can be optimism he'll be fine now back up to 6f; one to consider down another 1lb. |

Likes York (won this race in 2022 and went close over C&D at the Ebor meeting) and goes well on ground softer than good; only tenth of 25 in the Ayr Gold Cup last time but does not have a great record at that meeting; no surprise if he bounces right back to form on the Knavesmire; tops the list. |

Has good record here (a win, two seconds and two thirds from five outings) and failed by only a short head to make a winning return over C&D (soft) at the Lincoln meeting; won at Haydock in September, and although his two runs since have been below par he may well bounce back on this course. |

Tough and reliable 4yo; a cosy win at Haydock (5f, heavy) three weeks ago was his fourth of the campaign, and although he's up 5lb and now has to run in a higher grade, he may not have reached his ceiling just yet; 6f is fine. |
