Form & Verdict
Posted a personal best when winning this race in 2023 and hit a new high when taking the Group 2 Temple Stakes at Haydock the following spring, but winless since and mostly disappointing this year; takes a big drop in class after failing to threaten in the Nunthorpe last week but hard to know what sort of form he's in.

Won four for Clive Cox, including the Group 2 Temple Stakes at Haydock in 2024, his last victory; yet to hit those heights for this yard and has been soundly beaten on his last three starts; 0-2 on the AW but did run well here behind Valiant Force in February; blinkers replace cheekpieces worn last time.

Form & Verdict
Has made into a high-class, dependable sprinter and he wasn't beaten far in the King Charles III Stakes at Royal Ascot (5f, good to firm) in June; far from disgraced in another Group 1 at Deauville last time when the extended 6f possibly stretched his stamina; all his wins have come on good ground or firmer so rain could jeopardise his chance, but he's the one to beat on form in first-time blinkers.

0-9 since winning the Group 1 Sprint Cup at Haydock (6f, good) in September 2023 but he's often run extremely well in the meantime, finishing placed in the 2024 and 2025 runnings of the King Charles III Stakes here (5f, good to firm) and third on last month's reappearance in the Group 2 Minster Stakes at York (6f, good); each-way contender at a track he obviously relishes.

Still capable of classy form, having been placed in the last two runnings of the 5f Group 1 at Royal Ascot; however, he's on a losing run, being 0-8 since landing the Sprint Cup at Haydock in 2023; getting on and returns to action as an 8yo.

Saw off 23 rivals when winning last season's Palace of Holyroodhouse Stakes at the Royal meeting (C&D; good to firm); better form when pipped at Goodwood last July; this season yet to take off but she may have needed her return and then there were blindfold issues at Redcar three weeks ago; Colin Keane booked and a revival isn't out of the question but her low draw may be an issue.
