J: Mason Paetel

AW and dual turf winner over about 1m2f last April-June; some minor honours in his November-March campaign in the UAE, mostly on dirt, without reproducing best efforts; tongue tied first time for today's return from four months off and he needs to be back at his peak; has a bit to prove on firmer than good (after one attempt) but his yard is among the winners.

Progressive to win three 1m2f handicaps (Lingfield AW, Chester and Epsom) this season before never dangerous at Newmarket three weeks ago on his first race on good to firm; best effort on good to soft, soft in places, the time before, with a strong finish to pip Grecian Legacy, and he may well bounce back to go well again.

Wildly inconsistent this year; better from the front in a small field last time and the return to a switchback track, back up in trip, looks in his favour (fair record on the AW here); whether he reproduces the effort is the question.

J: Olivia Tubb

T: Jonathan Portman

For one who has been a model of consistency for much of his career it is slightly disconcerting that he has been well below form in three of his last four starts; the lesser runs have been in Class 5 events and his standout recent effort came when faced with Class 6 opposition, missing out by just a head at Lingfield in February (1m2f, AW); has run well over C&D in the past and a revival could be forthcoming back down in grade.
