Form & Verdict
Sprint handicapper with a useful strike-rate, and his Pontefract win (5f, good) in April was his fourth from just 11 attempts; stretched by 7f at Newmarket when last seen seven weeks ago; rain won't hurt and his rider takes off a handy 3lb.

Two Stewards' Cups and a host of other big-race wins on his CV, including over C&D; down to his lowest mark in nearly four years and should step up on what we've seen from him so far in 2024.

Heroic sprinter down the years, winning the Stewards' Cup at Goodwood in 2021 (soft) and 2022, and runner-up in the Gold Cup as a 5yo; harder to place now but was checked in his run at York in July and was a creditable third at Ripon after; not so good in a small field at Thirsk since but this type of race suits him better; refitted blinkers replace cheekpieces.

His last success was three years ago, but he was a Group 3 winner in his prime and he ran well to finish third off this reduced mark at Ripon (6f, good) last month; could be dangerous if he can back that up and two of his wins have come over C&D.

Form & Verdict
Not at his best on AW on his first two starts of the season but he ran as well as he ever has when third of 16 at York's Dante meeting three weeks ago (6f, good to firm); fully effective on slower ground but the combination of 6f and rain-softened ground might just see his stamina ebb away.

On a losing run but smart at this level on his day, as when coming home like a lion to take a late third in the Gold Cup in 2024; he retained plenty of ability in 2025 and although some way off his usual level this year he might well revive off a handy mark now visored with soft ground helpful.

On a long losing run but he has dropped to a dangerous mark and his latest Newcastle run confirmed he retains a good chunk of ability, surging to the front 1f out but failing to see out the stiff 7f; this easier test should suit and he can't be discounted.

Form & Verdict
Into the veteran stage but won four times in a productive second half of 2024; the more rain to fall the better and today's test should be far more suitable than the fast-ground event he tackled at Doncaster on his reappearance; out of the weights and not easily recommended but he represents the stable who have won two of the last four runnings; could go well at a price.
