W: 10st 0lb

4 yo Colt

OR: 70

Form & Verdict
Has improved since finishing a never-nearer third of ten to Profiteer and Another Baar over C&D (soft) in October but he was nudged along from after halfway on reappearance here in April and the return to 5f raises questions after a 7f attempt last time out.

Had just three AW starts and one of them yielded a C&D win; 7f stretched him at Catterick last month and he's one to consider now back down into a Class 6 handicap.

Form & Verdict
Has led; won two in a row at 5f in May (good to firm and good); has continued in good form off higher marks since and, while no standout at the weights, he should be on the premises.

Six-time turf winner who won three in a row in August/September, with the final leg over C&D (good); came up a bit short when third at Newcastle (5f, AW) last time, but that was another creditable effort and he's respected back in this sphere.

C&D winner last May who is on a hat-trick after wins at Nottingham (good to firm) last month and Leicester (also 5f; good to soft) a fortnight ago; up 4lb but he won off this mark last spring and looks the one to beat.

Form & Verdict
Can lead; just one of four wins has come at 5f but Profiteer had to work hard to overhaul him over C&D (soft) in October and there's little between them at these weights; was never involved back over 5f at York 11 days ago but this track can suit better; considered.

Dual C&D scorer; below par this season after a 5f win in Bahrain in January until much better signs with seventh of 23 in Silver Cup at Ayr (6f) one week ago, when third in his group; likely player off a 2lb lower mark.

Multiple winner on a range of surfaces, including heavy, but he's still reeling from a steep rise in the weights following a local Grade 1 win in Bahrain during January and was nearer last than first at York last month.

Form & Verdict
Often leads; two 5f wins in the spring (good) and just 1lb higher than the latest of them; has gone into reverse since, including over C&D on his first course run, but he may well do much better in a race named after a sprinter who did so well for his trainer's grandfather.

Five wins at 6f and 7f on a range of surfaces, most recently at Doncaster (7f, good to firm) in April; soundly beaten over that C&D on last two starts and his recent 5f runs have been at the start of the 2023 and 2024 seasons; trip query to answer.

T: Stella Barclay

Won off this mark at Doncaster (7f, good to firm) in April and fared okay back over 6f there (fourth) next time; however, he has scarcely managed to beat a rival in his last three appearances (5f-7f) which suggests that he'll find life tough, particularly from this wide draw.

Acts on all surfaces, winning over 7f on good to firm in May 2024 and two in a row over C&D on soft in October; not in quite the same form this year but he ran another good race on this track (6f) 19 days ago and remains of interest back at 5f off a favourable mark; any rain would help; yard has won two of the last four runnings.

J: Oisin Murphy

Made it four wins from his last eight starts when scoring at Ripon recently (5f, soft; versatile ground-wise); there's still mileage in his mark on his old form and this thriving 6yo could play another leading role.

Form & Verdict
Below best when turned out quickly in May following a good 5f run at Beverley but he's won at Doncaster since (5f, good to firm) and there wasn't much he could do about a big improver back at Beverley in June; 3lb lower here and should have some improvement in him.
