His mark is easing but only gradually and the evidence of his latest Newmarket seventh (first-time cheekpieces, retained; Toca Madera second) suggests he needs more weight off his back; first Goodwood appearance.

Of interest from a handicapping perspective, 3lb lower than when a close third in last season's Portland at Doncaster (5.6f, good); not beaten far into fifth at Windsor 18 days ago; not easy to win with but likely to give a good account.

Form & Verdict
Has bundles of ability but his losing run stretches back to February 2022 and he has spurned easier opportunities than this on AW over the winter; ran another good race back on turf at Epsom ten days ago when hemmed in against the stands' rail and keeping on well for second when finally seeing daylight; 3lb wrong today, however, and more minor money perhaps his best hope.

Form & Verdict
Tough sprinter who ran a string of good races in hot handicaps last year, beating 15 rivals over C&D at Glorious Goodwood and adding a good Haydock event to his tally in September; absent since a midfield finish over 5.5f in the Portland at Doncaster; drying ground in his favour and he could develop into a Pattern horse this year; good chance.

Form & Verdict
Form took off last year, winning a Class 4 event at York last June and adding two Class 2 handicaps at Ascot in the second half of the year; shaped as though the run was needed on his Southwell reappearance four weeks ago; mark left unchanged but some of his autumn form suggests he could still be well treated; Brandon Wilkie takes off a useful 3lb and he's more appealing than many.

9st 12lb

J: Brandon Wilkie

Progressive last year, with his three wins including two at Ascot (one over C&D); confirmed his affinity for the track with a good fourth in the Wokingham three weeks ago, a race where he was finishing fast up the stands' rail and comfortably beating the others to race on that part of the track; 1lb rise manageable but with the stalls on the stands' side there must be a query over the suitability of stall 1.

Regularly runs well in big-field sprints and in fine form here in 2024, finishing a close second of 26 over C&D before winning both subsequent starts (good and soft); may be high in the weights relative to this class of race but he shouldn't be far away following a luckless Goodwood run and then slightly short of room at York since.

Made good progress last season, winning handicaps over C&D and twice at Ascot (5f and 6f); unplaced twice this year but looked to need the run at Southwell and then met plenty of trouble at Goodwood 12 days ago (saw little daylight between 2f out and 1f out as the race was unfolding); 1lb lower today and Oisin Murphy, who won on him at Ascot in October, takes over; still has something to prove on good to firm, albeit he had a bleak draw when well held at the Ebor meeting last year.
