First past the post in sole AW attempt (demoted for causing interference); ran creditably in first-time cheekpieces at Chester most recently but is 0-4 and less interesting than some of these rivals.

Still a maiden after 12 runs and his tendency to race too freely remains a worry but he returned to turf with a respectable fourth at Goodwood (7f, good to soft; wore cheekpieces) last week and this race is easier.

Front-runner who had nearly 2l to spare when winning 26-runner sales race over C&D (good); held in fourth of seven on reappearance in Listed race at Newcastle (1m, AW) but could benefit from that run and the drop back in trip; no surprise to see a bold bid back on the Rowley Mile.

6f novice winner who was beaten only about 2l when fourth of eight in the Group 3 Molecomb at Goodwood (5f, good) in July, and a case can be made on that form; however, lesser runs have followed in Listed and Group 2 races (5f/6f, good to firm/good to soft) and he needs to raise his game.

Achieved similar amount when runner-up first three starts; tad underwhelming on nursery debut at Goodwood before producing a laboured effort at Newbury (gelded in between); it's possible he missed the blinkers last time as they're back on here; safer options elsewhere for all moving up to 1m promises to suit; AW debut.

Runner-up in first three starts, failing odds-on backers in the last two of them; went off favourite again for a valuable Glorious Goodwood nursery (7f, heavy) in July and kept at it, after an awkward start, to finish sixth of 11; might be looking for 1m now but he's far from ruled out; has been gelded.

Runner-up in all his races, failing odds-on backers the last twice (dictated matters last time at Epsom over 7f); however, possibly bumped into useful rivals on both those occasions and perhaps a truly run race in this bigger field will bring him on; yard won this last year.
