Raced in unfavoured group in the Wokingham when last seen; prevailed by a neck over C&D (soft; sole British win) earlier in June and has possibilities back in this scenario.

Form & Verdict
Better on AW than turf but handicapped accordingly and he ran his best race on grass when third of seven at Windsor 13 days ago (good to firm); down the field in two runs on soft but his Ayr Silver Cup effort wasn't too bad; new cheekpieces could give him a lift.

Both wins on AW; 0-9 on grass but cheekpieces seem to have bucked him up of late and he was very close to breaking his turf duck at Salisbury before making late inroads into Another Abbot's lead over this C&D last time; weighted to be thereabouts with that one and can't be ruled out.

Scored twice (5f/6f) on AW in 2025 and in excellent form of late since the cheekpieces went on, beaten a nose in 6f Salisbury handicap last time; must enter calculations nudged up 1lb with the headgear retained.

Both wins at Windsor but she is effective elsewhere; runner-up in two of her three starts this year but she's back from nine weeks off and could prove vulnerable.

Had a good spell over 5f for this yard last autumn, winning three times on AW and turf (good to soft); he's found it harder since and although there isn't much between him and Toyotomi on 6f form at Goodwood in June he was beaten a bit too far for reassurance at Hamilton recently.

Form & Verdict
Won 6f handicaps at Windsor and Ascot last summer; dropped down the weights in defeat this season but there have been glimmers of promise and ground softer than good will be of benefit; ran no sort of race at Carlisle eight days ago (in cheekpieces) but his usual blinkers are back on today; Oisin Murphy booked; interesting.

Well handicapped on his 6f form last season, including a course win off 4lb higher, but he hasn't got it going yet this year; 5f on fast ground perhaps sharp enough and stall 1 unlikely to be a positive.

Well beaten in the last two editions of the Stewards' Cup here but won from off the pace over C&D in May, leading on the line under a Jamie Spencer masterclass; barely sighted in his two subsequent runs (soft/AW; ridden more prominently) but, back in this scenario with a strong pace guaranteed, he could easily be a factor if reverting to patient tactics.
