This 3yo has very much gone the right way since an AW debut success in March, including two 1m Ascot handicap wins (another excellent run there when third in Britannia at Royal meeting); caught wide and too far back when eighth of 17 in handicap at York's Ebor meeting last month and that shouldn't be taken to suggest his improvement has come to a halt; won't need to advance his form too much to make his presence felt in Group company.

J: Robert Havlin

T: George Margarson

Both wins at 1m2f in 2024 but he has run well over this C&D and, after a slow start to the year, he showed more when a close third of eight at Ascot (1m, good to firm) last week; on the premises again.

Form & Verdict
Had a productive 2024, winning six times, mostly on the AW at Kempton, but he could make no impact when 100-1 for the Royal Hunt Cup on his reappearance and he'll need a career best if he's to get back on the winning trail.

Added to his excellent course record with two more wins this year, including this trip; another excellent effort here when chasing home Gamrai over 1m3f in March, with next-time-out winners behind in third/fourth; fair fourth of nine at Newcastle (1m2f) when last seen in June and much respected back at Kempton.

Added to his excellent Kempton record with wins over 1m3f and 1m4f this year; another cracking effort there when chasing home the progressive Gamrai over 1m3f in March; probably worth ignoring a recent run on turf but his peak AW form (including all wins) has been achieved on Polytrack.

Fine from 1m to 1m4f; has won on turf but the AW looks more his scene and especially Kempton where he beat all bar a handicap snip the last time; back on grass others look safer.

Form & Verdict
Not straightforward (can race awkwardly and be difficult to settle) but she won twice last year; best recent effort when neck second of five to a progressive winner at Nottingham (1m, good) in June; this is warmer.

Two wins for Robert Eddery came over a stiff, undulating 7f, so has that in her favour; lacked consistency for new yard, below par in first-time cheekpieces latest (headgear now off, tongue-tie on), but could easily bounce back.

Form & Verdict
Lightly raced for his age; off the mark in a small field at Doncaster (1m, good to firm) in June but had no obvious excuses when down the field at Hamilton nine days ago and this is far more competitive.

Two 1m wins on turf last season and added another on AW at Lingfield (1m2f) in December; however, he needs to produce a bigger performance than he's managed across his four outings this year.
