Form & Verdict
Made a bright start with his 14-1 win at Ascot (7f, good to firm) last July; highly tried in Group contests in next two runs but he finished down the field again on handicap debut at Doncaster (1m, good to soft) in September; gelded since; needs improvement now switched to AW on his return.

J: Oisin Murphy

T: Hugo Palmer

This step up in trip is not sure to suit but he arrived late on the scene to win handicaps at Wolverhampton (8.6f, AW) and Sandown (1m, good) on his first two outings this year and came from last in the Britannia at Royal Ascot (1m, good to firm) three weeks ago, finishing 12th of 30 overall but second of those who had raced far side; probably remains in form.

J: Jamie Spencer

T: Hugo Palmer

Won on good to firm here on debut but bypassed the Silver Bowl at Carlisle last month on account of those conditions; he'd probably run well if okay on this surface, having gone 2-2 since being gelded and last time at Sandown (1m, good) looking good value for his narrow defeat of Organise.

Form & Verdict
Showed promise behind some useful rivals in three runs for Ralph Beckett last summer; returned after gelding operation with odds-on defeat here (7f maiden) last month but he pulled a long way clear of the third and that was behind a rival who followed up under a penalty; looks on a fair mark now switched to a handicap and he's an interesting contender at a new trip.

Had plenty of chances now (0-10) but he hasn't always enjoyed the best of luck in showing useful form, as was again the case when third in a competitive 1m3f handicap at Glorious Goodwood (first-time blinkers); he's the standout danger to the regally-bred newcomer Partying.

1m4f didn't help when creditable seventh at Royal Ascot; runner-up in all his other five races this season, which could be construed as hard luck but blinkers now replace the recent cheekpieces after his defeat in a Yarmouth maiden last time; others have more pressing claims.

9st 6lb

J: Billy Loughnane

T: George Boughey

Inclined to pull hard and cracked late on over 1m4f at Royal Ascot, having bumped into a few progressive winners previously; sets the standard back into maiden company but can hang right and has had eight cracks at it now.

Form & Verdict
Added to his Bath maiden win when landing a 7f handicap at Southwell (Tapeta) in January; only 2lb higher today but he's been well held in his last two runs and has stamina to prove at this new trip.

Much the most exposed of these and arrives here off the back of a particularly poor run; cheekpieces introduced last time are now removed.
