Upwardly mobile 4yo who won prestigious events at Ascot (7f International; good) in July and Goodwood (6f Stewards' Cup; good to soft) in August; has gone up a total of 13lb on the basis of those efforts but he may have more in the tank and he wasn't beaten far in this race (good to firm) in 2024.

T: James Ferguson

Record of 0-7 this year but he has encouraging recent form; ties in closely with Brosay on penultimate effort and ran well, faring best of the near-side group, in the Ayr Gold Cup (6f, soft) latest; wears cheekpieces for first time on home soil; major contender.

Gelded and underwent wind surgery after an unsuccessful stint in Bahrain over the winter; two good runs in 6f handicaps in midsummer, notably his York second in July (6f, good); only eighth back at that track two weeks ago but he stumbled leaving the stalls and then got a bump in the final furlong when still in contention for a place; missed an intended run due to soft ground as a 2yo and could probably do with it drying out.

Beaten 17 times since making a winning stable debut in the 2023 Wokingham, and although tumbling in the weights he's not looking like taking advantage; well beaten in the Stewards' Cup last time and others appeal more.

Having dropped down the weights he was a close second at Ascot (6f, good) in May on his stable/seasonal debut, and perhaps the soft ground didn't suit at Epsom last time; not written off but this 8yo has been regressive and remains without a win since June 2023.

Hit the handicap heights when winning the Wokingham over C&D in 2023 on debut for Archie Watson, then close up in the Group 1 Maurice de Gheest; desperately hard to place in handicaps since but he's had wind surgery since last seen in October and, even at this late stage, he might well turn it on for Kevin Ryan off a 17lb lower mark than at the start of last year.
