The winner of three of his last six starts, asserting in the closing stages at Windsor 18 days ago (5f, good to firm; Grandlad second); up 4lb but he's still improving and should go well once again; stable won this 12 months ago.

Comes here on the up, winning two of his last four starts and running as well as he ever has when third at Chelmsford on Sunday; 5lb out of the weights here, though, and that could prove beyond him.

Three 5f wins last year; ran his best race this time around when second of five behind Nogo's Dream at Windsor 18 days ago; 4lb better off with that rival today but it may not be enough to turn the tables.

Form & Verdict
Impressive in a 6f nursery here in 2023 before going on to win at that season's Ebor meeting; things haven't gone smoothly since then but he ran well for third at Ascot in April and latest York run, when hold-up tactics were tried, was a useful effort given the strength of that race; he's undergone wind surgery since and remains with the potential to do better.

J: Saffie Osborne

T: Heather Main

Three 2yos wins came over this trip, including C&D, from the front but he's often run over 5f since; pulled hard on his first run back from wind surgery here last Monday and will need to settle much better in first-time blinkers (worn a visor once before).

J: Oisin Murphy

T: Heather Main

Enjoyed his best day when dominating a 6f nursery at the Ebor meeting in 2023 (good to firm); it hasn't been smooth sailing since but he showed good speed when third of nine at Ascot (5f, good to firm) and he now has something to build on; Oisin Murphy booked; considered.

Form & Verdict
Back to the same mark as when seeing off six rivals at Yarmouth last October (7f, soft); too free in three 7f handicaps this year and blinkers are reached for now dropped to 5f; best form on good or slower so could do with rain.

J: George Bass

Now 3lb lower than for his Yarmouth win last October (7f, soft) but that is a result of some modest efforts this year; blinkers didn't help at Windsor 12 days ago (5f, good to firm); others look safer.

Ended last season with his first win (Yarmouth 7f, soft) since debut; he's beaten just one home in both of his starts this term, which introduces doubts even though he could return to soft ground today.
