Form & Verdict
He returned from a 73-day break with an emphatic C&D win two weeks ago; held a class advantage over those rivals and that isn't the case here but he did finish his race off extremely strongly and he shouldn't be underestimated.

Best form when dead-heating for 6f Listed AW win in January, making it 2-2 for Ryan Moore; no serious inroads back on turf since, in a Group 3 and the 7f Victoria Cup on this course, but he did come from off the pace to finish a close fifth of 28 in this race (good to firm) last year and he shouldn't be overlooked back over C&D in first-time cheekpieces.

Looks well treated on this year's AW form but failed to transfer it back to turf (in Group 3) last time when bidding for a 6f hat-trick, and still has a weaker strike-rate in this sphere; bit to prove back at 7f and doesn't look the percentage call.

Form & Verdict
6f AW win on his 2yo debut; took his form to another level when winning the Group 2 Gimcrack Stakes at York on his latest start; that was 526 days ago but the form was strong and he's an intriguing runner; market strength would be encouraging.

Speedy sort but his last two wins have been at 6f (AW); acts on good to soft and encouraging his best turf effort came on his sole start here (5f) back in 2024; last two efforts haven't been his best, however, and the draw hasn't been kind either.

Form & Verdict
Promising 2yo and his 6f win at Wolverhampton in December was an impressive one; went off fast in a 7f handicap back at Wolverhampton on Boxing Day and didn't get home; remains a sprinter of interest and almost certainly still well handicapped but he is taking on much higher-rated rivals here.
