Won two in a row at around 1m on AW last summer and latest was off 1lb lower; looks interesting on that form and hasn't had much luck in running in two of his last three runs; left Michael Wigham for 14,000gns last month; now returns to turf for the first time since 2023 but he's one to keep an eye on for new yard.

Seven-time turf winner including off 2lb higher over C&D last July; added a third AW win to his record in December and he's held his form well in six subsequent runs; drops back in grade after a creditable third at Windsor (1m, good to firm) last month and he should get a decent tow into this race; dangerous.

Made virtually all for a clearcut win on handicap debut at Newmarket (1m, good) in April but hit with 9lb rise for that success and he's been vulnerable in two subsequent runs; reported to have had post-race heat stress at Newmarket last month but this is a deeper race and others are preferred; the hood worn last time is removed.

Unexposed gelding, who has form figures of 1221 and that latest success was from off the pace in a Goodwood handicap (1m, good) last month; up 7lb but he has a useful pedigree and is open to more progress; interesting contender.

Reserve; won the Bunbury Cup (7f, good) last July and went very close in that same race this year (good to firm); should be fine at 1m but those Newmarket efforts have been his standout performances in the last two seasons and it's probably best to look elsewhere; wears a first-time hood.
