Four-time sprint winner who acts on any ground; his last success was 13 months ago but he had a near-miss behind a course specialist at Hamilton (6f, good to soft) last week; only 1lb higher here and he should make another bold bid. |

A four-time 6f AW scorer in 2025; built on earlier promise to gain a first turf victory in 7f Chester handicap a week ago, making all and drawing right away last 1f for 8l success; major shout under a 5lb penalty. |

Four-time AW winner who returned to form on his second run after wind surgery when a front-running second at Southwell (7f, Tapeta) last month; record of 0-14 on turf but he's 6lb lower than last time and is well handicapped on his second at York last spring; respected. |

Won two in a row (6f/7f, good to firm) last summer and performing well in defeat this year, including second to Air Force One in a big-field at York (5f) in July and to subsequent Ayr Bronze Cup winner Winged Messenger at Epsom (6f; third and fourth also won since) when last seen seven weeks ago; raced mainly on good or firmer but showed promise on soft at the start of his career; has first-time cheekpieces added to his tongue-tie; high on the shortlist with Warren Fentiman taking 5lb off. |

Four wins on Tapeta elsewhere, at 5f-7f, all in 2024; has been involved in several tight finishes since December, including for Oisin Murphy at Kempton (6f) in April, and while he's been on much the same mark throughout, he's worth another go over a bare 5f; thereabouts. |

Three heavy defeats at big prices in 6f handicaps at York this summer; easy to write off this 11yo on that evidence but he comes alive at Newmarket (six wins and three placed efforts from 14 visits) and he is 9lb lower than when a close third behind Spring Bloom and Dashing Dick in this race last year; revival would come as no surprise. |
