Both starts over 1m on Tapeta last autumn, improving from his debut to land a novice that's worked out well enough; longer trip should suit on pedigree now handicapping and the market will give some clues after eight months off.

Comfortably prevailed in Doncaster handicap (1m2f, good to firm) on seasonal debut, following up his autumn AW success (1m, AW) and taking record to 2-3; the only unexposed contender in this field and commands respect with further improvement on the cards.

Goodwood winner for Ralph Beckett last August off 5lb higher; not at the same level for his current yard but he overraced last time, when cracking late over further, and looks back on a competitive mark; stable also runs Military Air.

He's edged down the weights for his new yard this season and has been placed off this mark on his last two starts, finishing third at Doncaster (1m2f, good to firm) then beaten just a neck at Hamilton (1m5f, good); back up in grade this afternoon but he might not be far away.

A fairly useful 1m4f winner for Ralph Beckett in 2025; has steadily found his form for his current yard this season, posting a good third of eight in 1m2f handicap at Doncaster eight days ago; firmly in the picture stepping back up in trip.

Dual novice winner early last summer who's generally strugged in handicaps, including in two runs since being gelded; the drop back from 1m4f should help but this will largely come down to how he responds to first-time headgear.

Two novice wins last May/June (1m2f, good to firm) and back on track when third in handicap at Kempton (1m4f, AW) last month; down the field at Ascot (1m4f, good to firm) since on first run since being gelded but this 4yo remains lightly raced and is not written off.

Progressed during a light campaign last season and has taken it up another notch the last twice; this looks a deeper race than the Lingfield (turf) handicap in which he was narrowly beaten five weeks ago, though, and he'll need more again.

Both wins have been on AW but he's run well on turf this season including when runner-up at Carlisle (1m) in May and when third over this trip at Windsor (good to firm) last time; continues to edge down the weights and he's in the mix with cheekpieces added.

Has gained both wins on AW but that was the case with stablemate Cristo (declared 7:50) until he recently prevailed on turf; has posted inconsistent results since returned to this sphere, however, and isn't a solid option.

Bolted up under a positive ride to make it sixth-time lucky at Salisbury (1m2f, good) nine days ago; likely to go up a good deal more than her 5lb penalty, but whether her rivals will allow her as much rope this time is uncertain.
