Mixed results switched to AW this year, best effort when fourth at Kempton (2m) on penultimate start; he's 2-2 on turf, both wins last spring, and looks interesting returned to this sphere.

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+.

Five wins in his time with Phil Kirby; four runs for Tracy Waggott and better than ever when winning the Cesarewitch Trial at Newmarket (2m2f, good to firm) under Aiden Brookes on latest; probably fine in the mud and won a C&D race last term, so should have a big say despite going back up 4lb.

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.
