2-2 over C&D (both in 2023) and tends to come to hand around this time of year; back on a fair mark and offered more last time, so there are positives for a yard that took this three years ago.

All of his wins have been on good or slower including on heavy ground; four-time turf winner who made it 2-5 at Bath when scoring off a reduced mark (5.6f) three weeks ago; back up 4lb in the weights but he remains well treated on old form and this drop back in trip is no problem; key player.

Both wins have come on soft ground and latest was at Chepstow (5f) last month; three creditable efforts since then and was only beaten 2l over C&D (heavy) last time, when the blindfold was removed late; looks interesting on this drop back in grade and a bold show is expected.

Not straightforward but he has more ability than his mark and his last two wins have been emphatic ones, latterly a near-5l success over 6f here 19 days ago (heavy; first time accessories); that form has been boosted by the reopposing Diamondsinthesand and a 5lb rise still leaves him lower than when running away with an Epsom handicap last summer (7f, good to soft); 5f asks a different question of him but his stamina will be an asset and they are likely to go hard.
