Form & Verdict
Hardy veteran who keeps coming back for more and has a good record at Windsor; Racing League races on last two starts, winning at Yarmouth one week before his extremely close fourth at Wolverhampton; back in top form and has a fighting chance to go one better than when runner-up in this race last year.

Hearty strike-rate on turf, adding another in a Racing League race at Yarmouth (1m2f) in July; less of a win machine on AW but both wins have come on this track, over C&D and 1m4f in early 2024, and he was involved in a tight finish back on AW at Wolverhampton two starts ago; not far away.

Form & Verdict
Career highlight was at Royal Ascot 2022 but he capitalised on a career-low mark to win at Newmarket (1m4f, good to firm) last month; long list of possible excuses next time and not disgraced at Ascot last Saturday, so he needs a second look.

Form & Verdict
Can front-run; has done extremely well since gelded and joining current yard, with three wins and two close seconds from those five starts, all at about 1m; latest two wins were on AW but two of the other big runs were on good to firm; it's 1m2f, which he tried twice last year, which gives him most to prove today but he has to be in serious calculations.

Short-headed at Newmarket (1m, good to firm) on penultimate outing; denied a clear run at Royal Ascot (1m) and Glorious Goodwood (1m2f) on starts either side, admittedly not taking off once he saw daylight in the latter but he's a relatively unexposed 3yo and worth this second crack at 1m2f.
