Possibly unsuited by soft ground in last two appearances, taking turf record to 0-5; has shown some promise otherwise on grass and remains well treated on AW form (mark in that sphere is 8lb higher).

Lightly raced 3yo whose two wins have come on the AW, looking well ahead of his mark at Wolverhampton (6f) on the latter occasion in July; however, his earlier turf handicap runs suggest he's no good thing to justify a 7lb rise now tackling ground slower than good to firm for the first time.

Form & Verdict
Recorded an RPR of 70 in two sprint maidens on turf last July, second of four at Ayr when last seen; the winner from that race hasn't been seen since but the third is now BHA rated 79 and the fourth 88 so the form looks solid; seven-month absence to defy but open to improvement and his brother is an AW winner; interesting.

Second of 24 in the 5f 3yo handicap at Royal Ascot (5f, good to firm) last June and he showed good speed before fading into sixth of 19 over 6f here (good) last October, when last seen; wind op since; the drop back in trip could be a positive move on his reappearance; can make a bold bid.

Classy front-running 3yo who was runner-up in the 5f handicap at Royal Ascot (good to firm) and fifth in the Ayr Gold Cup three weeks ago, when 6f on soft ground probably stretched his stamina; today's conditions should be ideal and he may not have reached his ceiling just yet; big player.

Rapid strides in the first half of the year, notably when blitzing rivals from a wide stall at Chester's May meeting (6f, good); fine second at Royal Ascot (5f, good to firm) then he was a big market mover in the Stewards' Cup last month, showing his trademark early pace but weakening out of things in the final furlong; last year's renewal showed making the running wasn't a barrier to success in this race and Kevin Ryan bids for a sixth Ayr Gold Cup win; stiff 6f on slower than good might prove a step too far though.

Beaten just over 2l by the subsequent Queen Mary winner Leovanni on her Nottingham debut last summer and soft ground a valid excuse for her short-priced defeat at Ripon two weeks later; absence since suggests all may not have been well at Ripon but she'll be a danger to all if back at the debut level; AW debut.
