Third turf win was a narrow one off this mark at Newbury (2m, good; rallying) in April on his final start last year; ran creditably once in 2025 on Polytrack and it's not hard to make excuses for his three turf runs this year, including the Chester Cup, but a revival is needed and such a wide draw probably makes that harder.

Below form on the Flat this year, for instance 11th to Believitanducan in the Northumberland Vase last month; not proven beyond 2m in this sphere but he switched back to hurdles for a 2m6f win at Stratford 12 days ago, which might give some renewed hope.

Usually apprentice ridden but Jude Fernandes rides him for the first time; 6lb lower than when winning at Sandown (1m6f, good to firm) last June; he has not beaten many in his four starts this season, coming last in a four-runner race last time, but can't be dismissed and the hood he often wore last term (and first run this year) is reinstated.

Never involved when defending his crown in the Northumberland Plate but two of his three previous runs this season had been creditable; only 1lb higher than for his last win at Chester (September) and he was a close fourth in this two years ago; would have been tempting but for concerns about him these days on fast ground (only fifth last year on good to firm).

Produced form figures of 321 in Leopardstown maidens for Aidan O'Brien; sold for 30,000gns and gelded since his 1m2f win; stamina to prove over this new trip but market support should be noted.

J: Oliver Hoodless

Sole win from ten starts came in July 2024 on his final outing for Aidan O'Brien; unsuited by the drop back to 1m2f when sixth here last month and he shaped as if he would have benefited from a stronger gallop at Lingfield (2m, AW) 12 days ago; return to shorter may not suit.

Maiden winner at the third attempt for Aidan O'Brien in 2024; has dropped 8lb since joining this yard and returned to form in the returning cheekpieces (now left off) when a keeping-on third at Kempton (2m, AW) eight days ago; not sure to be suited by the drop back in trip and now has the hood added.
