Form & Verdict
All four wins have been on Tapeta but he ran well here on his debut; raised in grade this time but it was very straightforward last time at Southwell (2m; 6lb lower) and he's on a roll; tactically versatile.

5-14 on AW; stopped quickly in last year's Northumberland Plate and it was a similar story in added cheekpieces at Wolverhampton (1m6f) the following month; afforded time off thereafter, returning with a sound effort at Southwell (2m; beaten a neck) in December; key player from a 1lb higher mark.

Disappointing on last two outings, denting his good records both on AW surfaces and at 2m; having been dropped just 1lb, he needs to return from three months off with a career best; good 5lb claimer is enlisted.

Only had the ten races and looks progressive after doing it comfortably at Southwell in November on his first try at 1m6f; a 2lb rise seems very fair and stepping up to 2m shouldn't bother him.

Has raced only three times on turf, with a soft-ground win on first occasion but lesser shows since, including at this meeting on good ground two years ago; on the other hand he's been reliable and progressive on AW, surging to new heights with his two handicap wins this March/April; latest was for a big prize at Newcastle (2m) and he did it in good style, so he's not miles away on ratings today but still has a lot to prove.

Third turf win was a narrow one at Newbury (2m, good; rallying) in April on his final start last year; may have needed his 2026 reappearance and the unusual test of the Chester Cup might excuse his disappointing show next time, but a revival is needed.

Lightly raced 5yo who won the first three of his four races on turf, including a narrow rallying win at Newbury (2m, good) last April; absent afterwards until below-form joint-second favourite from the front at Musselburgh (1m6f) five weeks ago but he should be a lot more potent with today's trip and that run under his belt; interesting.

Just six races and won his only three on turf; three on AW early last year before he battled his way to a narrow front-running win at Newbury (2m, good) last April; absent since and while he shaped as if he could make into a smart performer, that may be a bit more likely at 2m+.

Down the field in his last two Flat starts but both were strong handicaps; returns to this scene (has won on the AW) on the back of good runs over hurdles and, despite a challenging handicap mark, likely to run well.

8yo whose last turf Flat run was in May 2024 (tailed off) with some fair hurdles form since; three seconds and two fourths from his five visits to Ascot, most notably when beaten a neck in this race two years ago off the same mark as today; that followed a 1m6f win and he's not entirely dismissed even though the 1m6f Copper Horse on Tuesday (first reserve) was seemingly his preferred engagement this week; usually wore headgear in 2021 and 2022, now tries a first-time visor.

Reserve; has a good record here and went close at this meeting in 2023 (1m4f, good to firm); stays 1m6f; some good runs over hurdles since last November but it remains to be seen if this 8yo is the same force as two years ago; wears a first-time visor.

Useful on Flat and has a solid record (2122) over hurdles; penultimate effort in this sphere is a strong piece of form; however, rather lacks room for significant progress, having raced 41 times in total.
