J: Ryan Kavanagh

T: Ian Williams

3yo who made all in eight-runner handicap at Goodwood (5f, good) in June and rallied to follow up at Sandown (5f, good), beating four rivals; down the field at Glorious Goodwood last time but he's back into a smaller field today and could give it a good go from the front.

Made all at Chester this spring and always prominent when narrowly denied in a small field at Sandown latest (5f, good; second run in cheekpieces); probably worth taking on, with consistency not his forte.

J: Ashley Lewis

T: Grace Harris

Well beaten in the Norfolk Stakes here last year; game front-running effort to win at the May meeting at Chester (5f, good) but well beaten in Dickensian's York race one week later; the addition of cheekpieces isn't enough to tempt in this field.

J: Mme Frida Valle Skar

T: Eve Johnson Houghton

Useful 2yo, winning the Windsor Castle over 5f here last June and running creditably in Group 2 company on a couple of occasions; he has offered more than enough this year to think he had trained on and his mark is slowly dropping; gelded since latest start and one to consider back up to 6f; cheekpieces worn on last two starts are now discarded.

Useful 2yo, winning the Windsor Castle over C&D last June and running creditably in Group 2 company on a couple of occasions; two sound efforts this year, including in first-time cheekpieces at Sandown (5f, good) eight days ago; this test should suit and he's a possible.

Useful 2yo, highly tried after his winning debut at Salisbury; third in his two runs this year, latterly in a Newmarket handicap last month (6f, good to firm); drawn wide but likely to give it another good go.
