Saw off 15 rivals when winning the 3yo C&D handicap at this meeting 12 months ago (good to firm); added a Class 2 handicap at Haydock last September and he's only 3lb higher today; beaten four times this season but he's run crackers on each occasion, latterly keeping on well in a Sandown Group 3; looks rock solid to run well.

Her three handicap wins have all come over C&D on good ground or slower; it was only a 0-88 that she won here on her reappearance in May but she fairly bolted up, easing her way into contention from well off the pace and skipping clear inside the final furlong; reverted to front-running in an Ayr Listed event last month but overdid things and dropped away late on; 11lb higher than for May's win but still a strong contender if the ground doesn't dry out too much.

Modest strike-rate but his last two runs have offered much more encouragement when fifth at Newcastle (ridden prominently) and then behind a couple of reopposing rivals at Ascot 17 days ago (more patiently ridden); that latest run, where he tanked through the race before meeting trouble 1f out and then again when switched right inside the final furlong, looks in need of a big upgrade and he's a fascinating contender.

3-30 turf strike-rate doesn't do justice to his ability and he confirmed his recent improvement when a highly creditable fourth, again from the front, in a Group 2 at Haydock (good to soft; acts well on good) in May; this stiffer track and tougher opposition are likely to count against him.

Won the Group 3 Cornwallis Stakes as a 2yo (5f, good to soft) and his two wins since have been in Group 3 and Listed events; drew a blank in 2024 but retained ability and he shaped really well on his second run for new connections when second of 11 at Epsom on Derby day (6f, soft), doing best of the prominent racers in a race that has worked out well; quick enough to deal with the return to 5f but the possible drying ground will suit others more.

OR: 87

Form & Verdict
Huge improver this year, winning a 5f handicap at Carlisle in emphatic fashion on his return in May and adding further success at Thirsk (6f, good) and Hamilton (5f, good) last month; came unstuck in his bid for a four-timer at the Curragh (6.3f, good) ten days ago but he helped force a strong pace and that probably isn't the race to use as evidence he's now in the handicapper's grip; return to 5f is fine and he's not ruled out.

Took well to cheekpieces when winning at Newmarket 11 days ago (5f, good to firm) and a 4lb rise still sees him 3lb lower than when third at this meeting 12 months ago; it's likely a few of today's rivals will have his measure though.
