Form & Verdict
Has won two of his last three and was drawn out of contention when beaten at Goodwood; always in a good place before doing it comfortably at Windsor (5f, good to firm); 7lb rise asks a question but he's on top of his game.

J: Cieren Fallon

T: Tom Clover

He's on a hat-trick in this race and followed last year's win by also scoring at Windsor and Yarmouth (all 5f on good to firm in cheekpieces) in August; no wins since but he didn't get much cover when midfield over C&D one week ago and his race record means he can't be discounted; also ran well sole previous go in a visor.

C&D record reads 131, the defeat coming behind Emperor Spirit in this race last year; 5lb lower than for his last win and although he's yet to really shine this year, the booking of Oisin Murphy is notable; contender with frequent cheekpieces now discarded.

C&D win last August came off a 3lb higher mark; encouraging reappearance here five weeks ago and today's ground will be more suitable; solid claims dropped into a Class 4.

Form & Verdict
Back-to-back 6f wins in June and nearly added a 5f handicap at Ascot the following month; wasn't on his game back there last time but definite chance if shrugging aside that disappointment.

Has done a lot of his racing over 6f and found his stamina coming into play late when winning a handicap run to suit over C&D three weeks ago; no complaints about a 2lb rise for that but this looks a bit stronger.

Form & Verdict
Front runs over 5f; last year went well with three wins in the space of four runs and he's back to a more realistic mark; gelded prior to latest run at Beverley and ran okay given he went off a bit too quick for his own good.

Made all twice in a row this spring (including over C&D on good to firm) and bounced back from his third of six at Yarmouth for another front-running win at Lingfield (5f, AW) last Monday; had plenty in hand last time and he's 5lb well in under a 5lb penalty; could prove tough to catch.

Has won on the AW but off a much lower mark and all his best efforts have come on turf, including two wins in the spring; looked like the handicapper may have caught up again when third to Michaela's Boy last time and he's drawn wide today.

Enthusiastic front-runner; chasing a hat-trick after wins at Bath (5f, firm) and Hamilton (5f, good to firm); a 6lb rise asks more of him but dangerous to discount.

Can go from the front, as when making all at Bath in April; second at Goodwood since then but has also finished last in his other two starts; hard to predict.

Form & Verdict
0-6 this year but he retains all his ability and did quite well at Chester given how that race panned out before making no impression in the Windsor handicap won by Rocking Ends; if forgiven that it's easy to make a case.

Drew a blank in 2025 but there were some good runs in defeat and he starts this season off an 8lb lower mark than for last year's reappearance; solid third in one run at Yarmouth; best on good ground or faster; makes his seasonal return with a hood back on and with his stable in good form.

All his wins have come at Doncaster but he's fully effective elsewhere and is still unexposed on AW; plenty of solid efforts over 5f this season but losing run is mounting up and he's struggled in four previous runs at this trip; down the list.

Ran out of puff having lost a shoe at Windsor on his comeback last month and he again faded having attempted to make all over C&D (good to firm) 19 days later; becoming attractively handicapped, however, and could be building up to something bigger.
