Form & Verdict
Realtively unexposed 4yo; won twice on the AW last year (the first over C&D) and ended the season with a fine second of 13 from a poor draw at York (5f, good to soft); interesting to see what the market says on return.

Record of 6-17 on AW includes two wins in a consistent 2026 campaign; not disgraced back on turf last time but finished only fifth of six and took record in this sphere to 0-9; others preferred.

6-17 on AW and better than ever this spring, following his Lingfield win in March with a narrow defeat at Southwell; 0-8 on turf but has run well on fast ground in the past; perhaps a shade high in the weights now.

No doubting his consistency, but winning is another matter and he has become very expensive to follow; losing run up to 36 and he can't be recommended for win purposes.

Ended a lengthy losing run at Southwell in January and he is just 1lb higher today; solid effort at Newmarket 17 days ago when not ideally positioned; each-way claims at a track where he has run well in much better races than this one.

J: Hollie Doyle

T: Stuart Williams

Close call in a Group 3 here in 2022 and deserves so much better than his very modest turf strike-rate, given how many fine races he continues to run in defeat, such as when going down narrowly to both Rosario and Regal Envoy on different 5f runs (good and good to firm) last May; some cold comfort that he won on AW in January but tough to support for the win.

Form & Verdict
Dual C&D winner who narrowly ended an 18-race losing run at Wolverhampton (5f, Tapeta) ten days ago; 4lb penalty puts him on his previous winning mark, but he may find this company a shade warm (all ten wins in Class 5/6 company).

Four-time AW winner who was having just his second crack at a turf handicap when good sixth of 17 at Ascot (5f, good to firm) three weeks ago; also switched across from a poor draw to deliver his bid so that effort can probably be upgraded a little further; forecast softer ground is an unknown but otherwise respected.

Big chance on his AW form but he has finished out of the placings in all nine turf runs; BHA mark is 15lb lower on turf but he's likely to remain vulnerable.

Won from a similar mark at Lingfield (5f; 8-1) in November; form levels have dipped since finishing third back there in January, failing to beat a single rival the last twice; is 2-4 over C&D, so it's possible that added cheekpieces can rekindle a spark.
