Ran as if something amiss last time, folding tamely, but his two previous runs this year certainly give him a chance; just 2lb higher than when making most to win at Wetherby (1m, good to firm) in June; not ruled out.

T: Kevin & Lauren Frost

His first win came over 7f (soft) but better at 1m now, getting up late to win on Wolverhampton AW when making his yard debut in January and finding only a subsequent winner too good at Ascot last month; out of sorts at Redcar since though and reverts to 7f with something to prove.

Beaten 19 times since winning on his third outing in December 2022, and he was never a threat in a big field at York two weeks ago; often gives his running but others appeal more for the win.

Strong traveller who sometimes flatters to deceive; close second to a recent Glorious Goodwood winner on latest turf start, at Doncaster (1m, good to firm) in June, and also ran well on AW last month but has modest 2-32 strike-rate and others appeal more for win purposes; usually wears blinkers or cheekpieces but goes only in a first-time tongue-tie here.
